Oxbotica hooks up with Goggo

 Goggo Network, which specialises in last and middle-mile autonomous transport logistics, is to introduce Oxbotica’s autonomous driving system into Goggo’s middle and last mile delivery operations in its key industries, including FMCG, shipping, groceries and food delivery.

This will be deployed on-road, as part of Goggo’s EV network. The vehicles selected will have a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,500kg, which will be important in leading heavy and large cargo of autonomous middle-mile deliveries for retailers and distributors.

The first stage of the collaboration will see Goggo deploying Oxbotica’s autonomy software in Spain, to explore the benefits of Oxbotica’s technology in middle mile delivery in its operations with key partners including the likes of Carrefour, Día, Telepizza and Pascual.

The success of these tests will be a key building block for Goggo to include Oxbotica within its wider mobility network across cities in Europe including those in France.

Oxbotica’s autonomous driving software is capable of driving both on and off road, in various weather conditions, low light and darkness, and able to adapt to any location (e.g. local road or site routes). It uses advanced AI to accurately sense and predict changes to the environment the vehicle is in, whilst learning from previous journeys, which is key to continually improving the safety and efficiency of the technology.

”We were impressed by Oxbotica’s system for autonomy and its outstanding safety standard, and we are excited to see how this collaboration can have a positive impact in the logistics industry, helping some of the critical challenges it faces today,” says Yasmine Fage, co-founder and COO at Goggo (pictured).

Alongside Oxbotica’s self-driving software, Goggo will be tapping into Oxbotica’s fleet management system.

Goggo will also benefit from Oxbotica MetaDriver – a suite of tools that uses generative AI and machine learning to validate, verify and ensure the safety of autonomous vehicles in a virtual environment. Oxbotica MetaDriver automatically generates scenarios, used to test and refine AV operations and behaviours without ever needing to physically drive in them, which will accelerate the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles in Goggo’s network.

Goggo plans to start operating with safety drivers to oversee its entire Autonomous Mobility Network in 2023, and once the respective safety validations have been completed and regulatory clearance obtained, it will make the transition to full autonomy
