In summary

OnePilot enables highway autonomy turning the driver into a Rider. In conditions and on roads where highway autonomy is not supported, OnePilot offers the driver relief in the driving task by offering world class Cruising controlling acceleration and steering. Whether the driver is Riding, Cruising or Driving, OnePilot always and continuously assesses the surroundings, provides the driver with useful information and warnings and ultimately intervenes by overriding controls to make sure the user enjoys a safe journey.

The Loop

Implementing a fast continuous loop for collecting road data and safety case information from the fleet, developing, verifying, validating and deploying safety critical features “over the air” for vehicles in motion, is a very complex task. The reward of mastering the loop, unlocks the capability to gradually expand the autonomous vehicle driving task, both by seamlessly adding driving capabilities but also by gradually increasing the operational environment in which the vehicle is allowed to execute. As an example, to provide an unsupervised Highway Pilot feature to a customer, you may be required to iterate the loop 10.000 times!

Clearly, the speed at which you can iterate defines your market advantage and the quicker you can iterate the sooner you can deliver your services to your customers. At Zenseact we have industrialized this continuous data driven development cycle and named it “The Loop”, in which our platform components are tightly integrated, to ensure maximum efficiency end to end.

By dynamically probing and analyzing data from the fleet of consumer vehicles we can learn how to improve safety and automated driving capability based on real-world data. This enables continuous growth of feature content and availability of automated driving so that we can scale it from somewhere to everywhere.

The initial launch will be on Volvo Car’s SPA2 modular platform, which will offer Volvo’s first unsupervised self-driving system, our Highway Pilot.

Freedom of choice.

The end users will gain freedom of choice: to switch between manual or autonomous driving, while relying always on safety-leading technology to back their actions. Our bespoke technology secures future system updates together with unhindered user experience. Thanks to the fleet insight machinery and over-the-air-update capabilities, feature performance and availability will increase drastically over time. The updates will be unobstructive and discreet. This will result in a progressively better and increasingly liberating day-to-day driving experience for the end user.

Safety redefined.

Safety creates trust. And trust creates confidence. It is our firm belief that when the user is trusting enough in their vehicles to take them to their destination safely, they will finally be able to relax. By allowing the car to take over the wheel completely they will subsequently get in a “zen” mode and focus on other things while on the road, claiming some precious quality time back. Be it for leisure and pleasure like reading a book, playing a game with the family or even taking a nap, all the way out to maximizing productivity like preparing for that next big meeting, this liberty over one’s time will always be a matter of uncompromising safety.
