Street mapping: paving the way for autonomous council vehicles
It’s no secret that local authorities across the country have had their spending power significantly reduced over the last few years. So now it is as important as ever that councils look at innovative new approaches to delivering services to our tax paying residents.
Oxford City Council is doing just that and we have teamed up with the University of Oxford’s Robotics Institute to trial the development of council vehicles that can produce live data on the state of the city. This trial is taking place with the long-term view of creating autonomous vehicles that will transform council services.
Government policy on electric vehicles needs charging up
It is an exciting time for electric vehicles (EVs). Over the past few years, the transport landscape has been shifting, as disruptive original equipment manufacturers have started bringing high-tech, trendy offers to market, piquing the interest of many of us.
Added to this, the range of EVs and speed of charging has improved much more quickly than anticipated and this is set to continue.
