Intelligent Mobility @ UCL

EPSRC-funded driving simulator for pushing the maturity of the next generation of autonomous vehicles at PEARL

VISION

We enable a successful transition towards safe and trustworthy autonomous vehicles.

We are experiencing a paradigm shift towards fully autonomous vehicles. These systems have to manage a wide variety of situations, conditions and environments in an accurate, reliable, safe and trustworthy way.

 

Through IM@UCL, we will deliver impact for public benefit through cross-disciplinary research and engagement with end-users, industry and the public. 

 

This unique platform is underpinned by UCL’s vision to be a hub for technology, knowledge and equipment sharing.
