Currently reading: Wejo data platform to accelerate autonomous vehicle development
Data firm will pool live data from 18 million vehicles and offer it to all autonomous vehicle developers

Vehicle data specialist Wejo - which collects live data from 18 million vehicles and has clients including Amazon, national governments and 17 car manufacturers - has announced a new smart platform that aims to pool all the data it receives to deliver greater insights for autonomous vehicle developers than previously possible.

The platform, called the Wejo Autonomous Vehicle Operating System (AV-OS), has been set up to interpret real-world driving data and use it to inform development of self-driving vehicles. Wejo says it anticipates this will unlock “never-before-seen insights” and support “the rapid acceleration of AV testing”.

The data processed on the platform will be made available to any autonomous vehicle developer, regardless of any association with Wejo.

The company says it hopes the pooling of information on the platform will allow faster development of autonomous vehicles, bringing with it safety and environmental benefits.
