American electric vehicle maker Rivian will open a new office in the UK dedicated to developing artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technologies.
Based in London, the new division has already started hiring senior staff responsible for software, machine learning and AI, overlooking the development of new algorithms for autonomous driving.
“Our mission is to solve the autonomous driving problem,” states one job posting to social media platform LinkedIn.
The move will allow Rivian to tap the UK’s expertise in self-driving vehicles, with them having been permitted to test on the nation’s public roads for the past decade.
