How do we make sure autonomous vehicles are deployed safely in the UK and beyond?
We invited Neil Kennett from Cars Of The Future, along with independent road safety campaigner Meera Naran MBE and Nick Reed, Chief Road Safety Advisor to National Highways to visit our UK HQ.
After taking a demo ride to see our software driving on the road, we talked about our approach for the development of safe and explainable self-driving technology.
- Why we believe autonomy needs to be available ‘somewhere’ before it can be rolled out ‘everywhere’.
- Why open, transparent data sharing is essential to build public trust.
- Why we believe being able to evidence why our system acts as it does is a fundamental requirement for society to accept autonomous operations.
- How we collectively need to set the standard for what monitoring and regulations look like.
- What must happen now to ensure our whole industry is putting safety and explainability at the heart of development.
