Aviva and Darwin Innovation Group are to begin a five-year strategic partnership, beginning with a collaboration that will see an autonomous shuttle, controlled by 5G and satellite connectivity, transport members of the public around the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire.
In October 2020, after a four-year trial supported by O2 and the European Space Agency, the telco announced the opening of the Darwin SatCom Lab, the UK’s first commercial laboratory for 5G and satellite communications, at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus.

Autonomous vehicle report looks at deployment impact on UK cities A report identifying the potential impact of the deployment of autonomous vehicle (AV) services on major UK cities in the future has been published by Oxbotica, Imperial College London and Transport for London (TfL).
The SHIFT Autonomous Vehicle Deployment Report includes the creation of advanced traffic modelling to predict the demand and impact of autonomy on congestion, emissions, public transport and ride-sharing services. As part of the project, Oxbotica has developed first-of-its-kind driver safety guidelines, an AV build order and a third-party data infrastructure system to help operators take proof-of-concept autonomous demonstrations to larger scale service deployments in the UK.
