Kaity Fischer, Director of Partnerships and Business Development at Wayve, describes how they use an array of low-cost cameras and sensors, along with artificial intelligence to learn about traffic around London.
Kaity told Tech & Science daily Wayve is working with DPD, Asda and Ocado to gather road data for their technology, with plans to use autonomous vehicles for food and parcel deliveries in future.
The tech firm is hoping to begin trials of fully driverless cars in 2025, if government legislation is ready.
