Oxford-based autonomous mobility technology company StreetDrone has launched a subscription service for its self-driving software.
Reported as the first of its kind, Enterprise Aslan will be available on a subscription for businesses interested in autonomous applications without the initial cost.
The software is designed for use in low-speed environments such as small pod last-mile deliveries, ports and quayside freighting and urban passenger autonomous shuttles.
Mike Potts, CEO of StreetDrone, said: “Many businesses simply don’t contemplate driverless solutions as they are terrified by the costs and the lack of options in the marketplace. So we’ve set about addressing that from a customer perspective by making the costs lower and amortisable.
“We’ve removed the need for specialist hardware platforms and vehicles and indeed the need to commit to hiring engineers. If a customer’s solution grows and they want to bring the expertise in-house, then Enterprise Aslan provides a training platform to transfer that knowledge.”
Whilst tested on the StreetDrone fleet, the company has said the software is not tied exclusively to StreetDrone vehicles and can operate in any vehicle. It is platform-agnostic, removing the need for specific hardware platform investment.
According to StreetDrone, Enterprise Aslan has a graphic user interface that is easily operated without coding experience. The package also includes access to StreetDrone engineers to tailor applications for use in specific markets and environments as well as a range of training modules.
