United States. Guident, an autonomous vehicle (AV) teleoperation company, announced a groundbreaking new project supported by the Space Florida-Israel Innovation Partnership program.
This initiative leverages advanced low-latency satellite services and artificial intelligence to improve the safety, reliability, and efficiency of autonomous vehicles.
This Space Florida-Israel innovation grant will support the development and implementation of a state-of-the-art system architecture, using non-geostationary satellite technology. This will drastically improve autonomous vehicle communication by establishing a reliable and redundant connection with remote monitoring and control centers, ensuring the smooth operation of vehicles in areas with limited terrestrial network coverage.
The project begins in July 2024, and joins Space Florida, the expertise and resources of Guident Corp, and its Israeli partner, NOVELSAT. Each organization brings unique features to create pioneering safety solutions for autonomous ground vehicles through satellite communications.
"At the heart of this project is our commitment to advancing teleoperation safety through rigorous research and testing. Our goal is to ensure the highest standards of safety and performance for autonomous vehicles equipped with this pioneering communication system," said Dr. Dennis Morgen, Vice President of Products and Project Management at Guident.
"This grant will propel us forward in developing an effective remote monitoring and control solution, with Space Florida's invaluable support and strategic expertise."
