FiveAI is a Cambridge based autonomous vehicle company founded in 2015 by Stan Boland Ben Peters, Simon Walker, John Redford, Steve Allpress (no longer at the company) and Jonathan Lucas (no longer at the company).[1] FiveAI develops software for autonomous vehicles.[2][3][4][5][6]
Overview
FiveAI uses a combination of its software stack, cameras, and sensors to help the autonomous vehicles navigate.[7][8]
In 2018, CAT developed the world’s first autonomous driver training course with their partner FiveAI.[9]
Testing
In 2018, FiveAI started data gathering in London’s Bromley and Croydon Boroughs.[10] In 2019, FiveAI started autonomous tests of their vehicles on the streets of London by Bromley and Croydon councils. The tests are carried out using converted Ford Mondeos.[11] Each car is equipped with cameras, radars, and LiDARs. During the tests, the cars have trained safety drivers, who can take control of the car at any point.[12][13][14][10][15][16]
Funding
The company has raised $17 million for its project Streetwise, a joint venture with Transport for London, The Transport Research Laboratory, Oxford University, Direct Line Group, McLaren and Arriva to develop an autonomous driving system for self-driving cars.[10][17][18]
FiveAI has also raised $18 million from Amadeus Lakestar Capital, Capital Partners, Notion Capital, and Kindred[14][15][19][20]
