The bankruptcy estate of Sensible 4 is proceeding to liquidation of the company’s assets and invites any interested parties to get in contact by 31 July.

UD Trucks working with autonomous driving system software and hardware provider and integrator, Finland’s Sensible 4 Oy.

In conditions of poor visibility, human drivers often struggle to safely navigate their vehicles, and AI drivers have even greater difficulties. This month, T&BB spoke to CEO and co-founder of Sensible 4, Harri Santamala, about the company and its product, DAWN – an autonomous driving technology specifically designed to deal with all weathers and all visibility conditions.

The two companies worked together to automate a Quon heavy-duty truck so it could transport and dump material without a driver.

‘ROADVIEW’, which stands for ‘Robust Automated Driving in Extreme Weather’ brings together 16 partners from 7 countries to come up with solutions to the challenges posed by harsh weather and poor visibility to autonomous vehicles.

‘DAWN’ is an autonomous driving software platform product designed specifically for all-weather conditions in which visibility is obscured due to darkness or heavy rain or snowfall.

The Finnish company's technology is being piloted in a six-month project which will test its performance in the demanding weather conditions of the far north of Norway.

Sensible 4 will retrofit MOOVE's battery-electric shuttle bus with its Level 4 autonomous driving technology, with trials set to begin in February 2022.
