A new project, led by UK-based Horiba MIRA, will reduce the testing cost of autonomous vehicle tech by 40%, allowing the industry to push towards cheaper self-driving vehicles as it stumbles over high development fees.
Called Certus, the project will also aim to “significantly reduce the most risky, timely and costly part of the automotive design process” as well as increase the safety of these next-generation systems. This, Horiba MIRA says, will position the UK as a key player in the autonomous vehicle sector.
