The Complete Guide to Buying a Used Car at the Best Price in America/The American Dream

We're several  away from

having autonomous cars that can go

 

  to drive everywhere," he said.

 

 

anywhere, says the head of autonomous vehicles Oxa, CEO of

, says the industry is “a long way” from self-driving cars that can go anywhere.

 

 

Gavin Jackson said the main problem was collecting the huge amounts of data needed to train the vehicles' AI.

 

 

This comes as automakers like Cruise and Tesla face questions about self-driving technology.

 
It will take “several decades” to produce
fully autonomous cars that can go anywhere without human intervention, according to the CEO of an autonomous vehicle company.

Oxa boss Gavin Jackson told the Google Cloud Next conference in London this week that the industry was "a long way from" producing cars that would match 

 

 

or outperform human drivers, saying that these vehicles had previously " local” experts could be used. he could be trusted to drive on public roads.

 

"In our space, the ultimate goal is to have software that has the experience, the knowledge, and the expertise to drive everywhere," he said.

"When it comes to generalized AI that can do that, we're so far away from that. We are decades away from that being possible today," he added.

Oxa, a UK-based startup that sells autonomous driving software,

 

 develops autonomous vehicles that travel on fixed routes, with self-driving features monitored by human safety officers

 

 

. The company is focusing on urban public transport and commercial vehicles, rather than passenger cars.

The company has tested its technology in refineries, 

 

 

solar farms and mines and announced a partnership with autonomous transport companies eVerseum and Beep to integrate the Oxa autonomous driving software into 

 

 passenger ferries

 

passenger ferries in Europe and the United States.

Jackson said that the main obstacle to fully autonomous vehicles that can drive 

 

themselves in all conditions is the enormous amount of data that must be collected to train 

 

 

 

the vehicle's artificial intelligence to respond to every possible situation may occur while driving.

 

 

He highlighted generative AI as a possible solution, saying Oxa had used the technology to simulate a number of different scenarios to uncover potential problems.

 

 

 
“There is a limit to the data you can collect while physically driving,

 and if you try to collect data on routes intended for autonomous driving, you actually have to wait for strange or dangerous things to happen,” said Jackson.

 

 

 

"And the amount of data collected isn't large enough if you want to take into account the almost infinite number of events that can happen while driving." So you need another way to test the software before it even hits the market comes."

 

 

In recent years, the debate about “autonomous” vehicles has become increasingly heated. Earlier this year, Robotaxi 

 

 

 

Cruise was granted permission to operate 24 hours a day in San Francisco, but agreed to halve its fleet

 

 

 of autonomous taxis after several accidents involving unmanned vehicles.

Cruises' robot taxis do not require a human driver and are capable of doing so
