DBW Series – Week 1 – What is Drive-By-Wire? + Buyer’s Guide

Introduction – What is Drive-By-Wire? Developing safe connected, autonomous vehicle technology is hard and time-consuming. What’s more, interfacing an autonomous driving system with any given vehicle is a severely underpublicized industry challenge, especially when considering how to make the entire autonomous system as safe, scalable, and flexible as possible.  The system enabling this interface is […]

Germany’s leading mobility university THI receives delivery of StreetDrone Twizy

Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) ‘s CARISSMA automotive safety research centre has taken delivery of a new self-driving vehicle supplied by StreetDrone to serve as an open platform for the development of testing methodologies for assessment of different Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) functions. The StreetDrone Twizy autonomous vehicle platform is a functionally safe control […]

Teleoperation – getting the world closer to autonomous and automated vehicles

StreetDrone’s mission is to enable low-speed autonomous vehicles to work for the benefit of people as soon as possible, and as such we’re always looking for safe ways to advance the deployment of this technology. Utilising connectivity (whether it’s 4G, 5G or beyond) will be essential to getting autonomous vehicles (AVs) onto both public and […]

Accelerating CAV Deployment with Vehicle-in-the-Loop Simulation: StreetDrone and IPG Automotive

StreetDrone and IPG Automotive UK Ltd have partnered in a pioneering test integration to bring the myriad benefits of vehicle-in-the-loop simulation to accelerate AV development. Using a ROS bridge software integration from IPG’s industry-standard CarMaker​ VIL to StreetDrone’s Enterprise ASLAN self-driving software stack, the two partners demonstrated how a StreetDrone e-NV200 autonomous vehicle on the […]

Video – StreetDrone in 2020/21

Despite the adverse circumstances, 2020 was a landmark year for StreetDrone and its clients, not just delivering our 25th autonomous-ready vehicle to customers but also launching the enterprise edition of ASLAN open-source driverless software stack and being part of the consortium to earn a DCMS grant to deliver a 5G-connected autonomous HGV operating in a […]

Disruptive Innovation in UK Automotive: StreetDrone at CES2021 with the DIT

StreetDrone Twizy on a Los Angeles rooftop in Union Jack Livery, overlooking the city

It’s been a whole year since our StreetDrone Twizy completed its US tour, gracing both the rooftops of CoMotion LA, and the conference floors of CES in Las Vegas.  Last week, the latter conference looked a little different thanks to COVID, but StreetDrone founder, Mark Preston continued to contribute to the fully online event, Arrival’s […]

HAN University student successfully demonstrates ROS-based algorithms for Master’s Thesis

At StreetDrone, we are delighted when the next generation of self-driving engineers use our vehicles as part of the culmination of their degree. Our congratulations here go to Pawan Pawar of HAN University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands) who developed both a motion planner and trajectory tracking controller, before demonstrating these in both simulation and in […]
