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. #ExplainableAI #RoadSafety #SelfDrivingSafety

Thanks Oxa - walking the talk on transparency in self-driving 👏
Essential and critical topics.👍. Sounds like a great and informative discussion. Will a summary or any slides be available online? Any links to published best practices for AV validation, commissioning, transition to operations, etc.?
Things you love to see..

2wGreat insights! The talking points really resonate with me, especially the emphasis on safety, explainability, and transparency. It’s encouraging to see a focus on data sharing and setting clear standards for monitoring and regulation. These are crucial steps to gaining public trust and ensuring the responsible deployment of autonomous vehicles. Excited to see how these discussions shape the future of the industry!
