Beyond this particular project, the grant award further strengthens our technology leadership and expands the application of our autonomous solutions, supporting the continued deployment and scaling of our technology across airport and logistics operations.
We look forward to working alongside the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, Zenzic and Innovate UK to keep the UK at the forefront of autonomous vehicle and airport innovation."
