Delivered by the HumanDriveUK consortium. which is backed by the UK Government and led by Nissan. the project saw the self-driving electric vehicle (EV) travel from Bedfordshire to Sunderland.
The car used technologies such as GPS. radar. LIDAR and video cameras to travel through a number of unique road environments.
These involved complex roundabouts and high-speed country lanes with no road markings. white lines or kerbs. road types that autonomous vehicles often struggle to handle.
The team behind the vehicle technology say the journey is a major milestone in its project to make autonomous vehicle systems feel more human-like and natural.
Business Minister. Nadhim Zahawi said: Safely completing the longest autonomous drive in Britain is an incredible achievement for Nissan and the HumanDrive consortium and a huge step towards the rollout of driverless cars on UK streets.
This project is a shining example of how the automotive industry. working with government. can drive forward technology to benefit people’s mobility – while helping to slash carbon emissions.
