Next Evolution in Wejo’s AV-OS to Provide
Real-World Intelligence to Support Development, Testing, and
Operation of AVs for the Future
Wejo Group Limited (NASDAQ: WEJO) (“Wejo”), a global leader in
Smart Mobility for Good™ and cloud and software analytics for
connected, electric and autonomous vehicle (AV) data, today
unveiled DLIVEREE, an AV prototype that is being used to develop
and demonstrate Wejo’s Autonomous Vehicle Operating System (AV-OS),
software that will use live, real-time connected vehicle data to
support development, testing, and operation of AVs for the future.
The AV prototype allows Wejo to build, test, and demonstrate Wejo’s
live API data powering AV development projects, including freight,
delivery, and robotaxi or ride-hailing vehicle use cases. The
initial prototype was showcased for the first time during Wejo’s
“Data in the Desert” on-track driving experience event at Spring
Mountain Motor Resort outside Las Vegas, Nevada.
DLIVEREE represents the next stage of evolution for AV-OS that
will demonstrate how AV developers will be able to utilize
connected car data that integrates real-time parameters, including
the number of cars on the road, construction barriers, pedestrians
crossing the street, cyclists, slippery roads, or other dangerous
weather and road conditions. The prototype will also support the
standardization of a common connected vehicle language for AVs to
communicate real-time road settings, vehicle status and inform
digital twin testing.
“To be clear, Wejo is not entering the race to develop
autonomous vehicles but we are propelling AV adoption forward, and
the prototype we are developing will demonstrate how Wejo’s AV-OS
can empower AV developers by rapidly accelerating innovation to
realize the full potential of AVs,” said Richard Barlow, Founder
and CEO of Wejo. “We want to help reduce the 1.3 million deaths
that happen each year on the road and the additional 8 million due
to emissions. Instead of learning from historical data, our
edge-based processing of live API data will provide intelligence on
long-range conditions across traffic and roadways and democratizes
access to live, real-time connected vehicle data, resulting in safe
and efficient AV development – and truly autonomous AVs. We are
ultimately supporting the creation of the most experienced driver
on the road.”
With access to trillions of data points from more than 85
billion journeys and approximately 19 million vehicles that
represent activities on 95% of roads in America, AV developers,
DOTs, and fleet operators will be able to better understand current
vehicles’ status and dynamics. This will include intended movements
of vehicles (e.g., forthcoming lane change and exiting the highway)
to make calculated instant decisions to maintain road safety
alongside automated and non-automated vehicles on the road.
The DLIVEREE AV will showcase:
- Enabling vehicle-to-vehicle communication (e.g., emergency
stopping due to a hidden vehicle)
- Use of cloud-based road intelligence (Real-Time Traffic
Intelligence) to anticipate the road ahead (e.g., traffic build-up
further ahead)
- Capture of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and camera data
for simulation, modeling and visualization
- Intelligent internal and external displays based on Wejo
intelligence and vehicle dynamics
