University of Leeds is responsible for defining the user requirements and developing a driver risk model using trials data captured from their simulator and live trials.Hitachi is developing an advanced machine-learning Artificial Intelligence to control the vehicles perception and decision making.Nissan Technical Centre Europe (lead partner) is leading on the development and testing of the next generation autonomous vehicle that will soon complete the Grand Drive.To achieve this grand aim, the project has drawn upon the expertise of a world-leading consortium: In addition, the HumanDrive project will seek to take autonomous technology to the next level in terms of ride comfort and adaptability by adopting natural road positioning and a more human-like driving style. Before the end of 2019 the HumanDrive vehicle will self-navigate a 230-mile journey over country roads, high speed roundabouts, A-Roads and motorways, all through live traffic.

A 30-month Autonomous Vehicle project led by Nissan’s European Technical Centre will soon complete its primary aim – achieving the UK’s most complex journey with autonomous drive.
