Nominet, the Oxford-based internet company responsible for the smooth and secure running of the .UK internet, has announced its involvement in driverless car trials between London and Oxford.


The project, run by the DRIVEN consortium and led by 8307 Oxbotica, is one of the first trials of Level 4 autonomous vehicles in the UK, where the driver does not need to watch the road or hold the steering wheel.  The trial explores the real-time assessment frameworks essential for the legal and safe use of automated vehicles. The project will include six vehicles trialled in urban areas and on motorways between London and Oxford.

Nominet will be providing trusted and secure data exchange for real-time transactions, including a framework for security and privacy, important for future development of autonomous vehicles.
