Oxbotica taps AI in the metaverse for autonomous vehicles initiative

Oxbotica, an autonomous vehicle (AV) software specialist, is using artificial intelligence in the metaverse to accelerate the safe and efficient deployment of AV technology, reducing carbon emissions generated by vehicles driving actual miles. 

Oxbotica MetaDriver is a suite of tools that includes virtual world simulation, automated discovery of challenging scenarios, and real-time data expansion.

It is designed to help answer three core AV questions: ‘Do I see it right?’, ‘Am I doing it right?’, and ‘Can I trust myself right now?’. 

Paul Newman, Founder and CTO at Oxbotica, says:“Oxbotica MetaDriver is a suite of tools that offers so much more than straight forward simulation.”

“Using the metaverse in this way provides us and our customers with practically unlimited test challenges, revolutionising how we are accelerating AV commercial deployment to make the earth move.”

“Oxbotica MetaDriver allows us to do the hard miles without the conventional need to physically drive the miles.”

“The autonomous vehicle industry has become over indexed on the number of miles travelled as a synonym for safety, but what we actually care about is coverage of hard cases, not the endless miles endured. Oxbotica MetaDriver addresses this in a new and exciting way.”
