The focus of Tesla FSD is wrong. We shouldn’t be aiming to make single-passenger vehicles autonomous, when there are other areas that will provide greater benefit sooner.
“We leverage existing infrastructure such as bus lanes, without having to build new infrastructure like tram or other road rail tracks,” says Jackson. “We're not having to do that because our systems will work and live in harmony with other road-going actors, including vulnerable actors like cyclists, pedestrians, and other vehicles. It will work in harmony with those.
Oxa’s answer with partners such as ZF is smaller buses for between 15 and 22 people, to create a shuttle service that will be augmented by larger peak time vehicles. “They are beginning to run those sorts of services in different parts of the world, including one that we're helping to deploy in Florida,” says Jackson.
Highway driving is also a relatively finite system, which is why autonomous systems aimed at offering a step up from adaptive cruise control such as Tesla’s Autopilot are already extremely effective. “But it shouldn’t be confused with Level 4 Autonomy, where you are no longer the party that is in control, both legally and physically,” says Jackson.
Oxa has great pedigree solving the somewhere problem for autonomy. “We were the first and only company in Europe to be on the public highways with full zero occupancy self-driving, and only the second or third in the world,” says Jackson. “That comes from how we deploy safely.” The Exascale Computing Era will accelerate the progress of autonomous driving, with the arrival of AI-optimized systems such as. Oxa has a partnership with Google to provide the AI services it uses to build its models.
“There is a clear distinction between what we're doing and the sort of Level 2 and 3 driver assistance happening in California today,” concludes Jackson. “Our long-term vision for universal autonomy is to unlock the value of self-driving to every company and person on the planet. We fully expect full Level 4 autonomous shuttles to ferry people in and out of cities, and the same thing for agriculture and construction and mining. But these things are iterative.
