Comment: The entire "Deployments" section does not relate to the rest of the article at all. All sources mentioning StreetDrone fail Wp:ORGTRIV Mach61 (talk) 20:51, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The previous reason for rejection is still an issue. Wikipedia is for encyclopedic articles, not promotion. Among others, sentences like* "rising to the challenge of future transportation"* "providing the perfect opportunity for their shared knowledge"* "provides autonomous solution for operators"* "empower the transition to a new era in transport management"* "contributing to better standard of living to Europe's citizens"are not appropriate. Please do not submit the draft again until the issue is fixed. -- NotCharizard 🗨 06:20, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: There are multiple external links in the body of the article. These must be removed. See WP:ELPOINTS. Selected external links can be placed in an External links section at the end of the article, after References, provided that they are relevant and useful for readers. See: WP:ELYES and WP:ELNO.

StreetDrone is an autonomous technology developer, headquartered in Oxfordshire, England, and founded by Mike Potts and Mark Preston.
History[edit]
In 2016, the founders built a robotised Renault Twizy concept, to be used as an autonomous software test platform for university programmes[1], R&D[2], and testbeds[3]
In 2017 StreetDrone was born, and in 2018 the Cambridge startup Wayve came in possession of the first SD Twizy.[4]
In 2021, StreetDrone received £3 million investment from wilko[5] to develop Pix-E, an autonomous delivery pod and delivery system.[6]
SD Advanced Engineering provides engineering services, autonomous SaaS, and off-the-shelf autonomous platforms, SD Twizy and SD e-NV200.[7]
Technology[edit]
The full stack autonomous software powers vehicles for logistics operators[8], while XenOS connects operators and their systems safely to vehicles on the ground, allowing operators to manage multiple vehicles across multiple locations.[9]
Deployments[edit]
In 2019 Parkopedia’s Autonomous Valet Parking sought to navigate a self-driving car to an open parking space, autonomously park itself and respond to driver commands.[10] The project featured an SD Twizy and was led by Dr. Brian Holt, Head of Indoor Mapping at Parkopedia.[11]
In 2020 O2 announced the launch of the first commercial laboratory for 5G and satellite communications in the UK as part of Project Darwin, a four-year trial programme supported by O2 and the European Space Agency and based in the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire. Companies were able to test proofs of concept using two SD Twizys, fitted with LIDAR sensors allowing them to be controlled from the Lab and driven around the Harwell Campus.[12]
UKAEA’s RACE allows research and development institutions to use the SD e-NV200 platform to carry out tests in both a controlled space (Testbed UK with Millbrook proving ground) and a semi-controlled physical environment.[13]
Smart Mobility Living Lab: London, a TRL company, built a testbed that uses public and private roads in London to develop and validate new mobility and transport technologies in a real-world connected environment. SMLL’s fleet of two SD Nissan e-NV200 vehicles[14] are kitted out with AV technology; they have full drive-by-wire capability, sensors on a flexible adaptable roof rack, a future-proofed computational hardware bay, and fully connected data services.[15]
Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI)‘s CARISSMA automotive safety research centre uses an SD Twizy to serve as an open platform for the development of testing methodologies for assessment of different Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) functions. In February 2023, the automated research vehicle, ANTON, received approval for operation on public roads after a positive assessment by TÜV Süd.[16]
Coventry University’s Institute for Future Transport and Cities (IFTC) runs two SD e-NV200s, supporting IFTC’s Systems Security Group's efforts in the area of secure connected mobility.[17]
CEA-List, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) institute dedicated to Smart Digital Systems, uses an SD Twizy to help researchers to develop and deploy advanced technologies for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs).[18]
Projects & Consortiums[edit]
5G Connected Automotive Logistics (CAL)
5G Connected Automotive Logistics (5GCAL) demonstrated the key features for CAL deployment – the safe and secure operation and handover of the connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) from autonomous mode to remote manual operation (teleoperation) and vice versa. This £4.9m project received £2.4m from the Government’s £30m 5G Create competition[19] to deliver a 5G-connected, autonomous 40-tonne truck to distribute parts and assemblies across the Nissan plant, linking to many local SMEs in their supply chain fully autonomously without intervention by a safety driver.[20]
V-CAL
Project V-CAL aims to demonstrate scalability and proof of fully operational deployment in a complex industrial environment, moving beyond a trial stage and into supporting two real industrial use cases.[21] This project was awarded a share of £81 million in joint UK government and industry support for self-driving transport technology.[22]
Project ENCODE
Project ENCODE aimed to investigate the cybersecurity risks associated with multi-driver systems, and implement measures, including secure connectivity, to facilitate safe deployment of such systems. Project work involved engagement with key stakeholders such as the Department for Transport and the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, to validate and further best practices, and culminated in a live trial of multi-driver vehicles in London and Oxford to showcase project outcomes.[23]
FRONTIER Project
The EU-funded FRONTIER project brings together 19 partners from all over Europe to empower the transition to a new era in transport management.[24]
StreetDrone is part of the Oxfordshire pilot, alongside UKAEA RACE and Oxfordshire County Council, aiming to bridge the existing gap by integrating CAVs with a future traffic management system and to output learnings that will influence future traffic management best practices concerning integration of CAV technologies and Smart Infrastructure.[25]
