StreetDrone, a full-stack software and hardware autonomous mobility company based in Oxford, has launched subscription-based self-driving software solution, first of any such initiatives. The subscription service will remove cost barriers to developing autonomous solutions that generally cost millions.
The solution named, Enterprise ASLAN is aimed at companies with an interest in low-speed autonomous applications that require deployment in short timeframes. It is intended to provide a comprehensive software solution for low-speed environments including last-mile deliveries, campus transport, ports and quayside freighting, bus and coach depot movements, car park management, airside support services, urban passenger transport & contactless medicine deliveries.
Enterprise ASLAN also provides access to StreetDrone’s expert engineering capability to help design applications for use in specific markets and environments. This removes the need for customers to invest in technical expertise and focus instead on the commercial realisation of the benefits of autonomous solutions.
The pre-compiled software stack is platform-agnostic, which removes the need for specific hardware platform investment and operates through a user-friendly GUI that dispenses with the need for operators to have specific coding or engineering capabilities. Moreover, Enterprise ASLAN is capable of running on any vehicle and is not tied exclusively to StreetDrone vehicles.
The Enterprise ASLAN package also includes a range of training modules to allow businesses to progressively grow in-house capability to suit their specific commercial needs, including safety driver as well as software engineering training.
The solution may thus help companies developing autonomous vehicles in aligning the costs of operation with the savings realised through driverless operations for business.
