Oxa

Our autonomous Ford E-Transit vans and minibuses are now driving on UK and US roads! Powered by Oxa Driver software, the Ford E-Transit vehicles are available for both logistics and passenger services, and seamlessly integrate into existing fleets. Follow the link in the comments to find out more.

It was fun and inspiring to be hosted by our investor, customer and partner, Ocado Technology for this months Board meeting. It blows my mind how they have invented an entirely new class of robot-enabled fulfilment. Watching the whole system work - including the hundreds of robots on “the grid” - is a site to behold. Autonomy is central to Ocado’s business model; from hub to hub, outside yard to inside fulfilment centre and last mile delivery to doorway and kitchen. And Oxa is central to Ocado autonomy. Continue to watch this space! Thank you James Gralton for being such a generous host.
