Fusion Processing is proud to announce that we have been awarded the 2024 Foundational Software Award at the prestigious Self-Driving Industry Awards. This accolade recognises our industry-leading CAVStar® platform, which continues to set new standards in autonomous vehicle technology.
The judging panel, led by Cars of the Future editor Neil Kennett, praised Fusion Processing for our innovative contributions to the autonomous mobility sector. Commenting on the award, Kennett said:
“We are delighted to present our 2024 Foundational Software Award to Fusion Processing. Having developed the CAVStar system used in last year’s Self-Driving Vehicle of The Year, they are now planning to unveil the UK’s first production AV – a fully autonomous tow tractor developed in partnership with Bradshaw EV. Back in 2021, CEO Jim Hutchinson made the bold claim: ‘We developed the CAVStar platform as a scalable solution.’ Three years on, they are overdelivering on big promises.”
Driving Innovation with CAVStar®
The CAVStar® platform, designed as a fully scalable solution, has been at the heart of Fusion Processing’s mission to drive advancements in autonomous technology.
Following its pivotal role in last year’s Self-Driving Vehicle of The Year, the platform is now poised to power the UK’s first production autonomous vehicle (AV)—a fully autonomous tow tractor developed in partnership with Bradshaw EV.
Fusion Processing’s robust technology continues to demonstrate its versatility and reliability, enabling Level 4 autonomy across a wide range of on- and off-highway vehicles.
Fusion Processing CEO Jim Hutchinson said “It’s an honour to accept this award on behalf of the team at Fusion Processing. It’s testament to the many hours of hard work invested in developing a robust and safe automated drive system we can apply to any on- or off-highway vehicle to give it Level 4 autonomy.”
Hutchinson’s vision for a scalable and adaptable autonomous platform has been realised through the success of the CAVStar® system, enabling Fusion Processing to consistently deliver on its promises of safety, efficiency, and innovation.
Looking Ahead
As Fusion Processing prepares to unveil the fully autonomous tow tractor in collaboration with Bradshaw EV, the company remains committed to advancing the boundaries of autonomous mobility. This award not only celebrates the achievements of the past but also sets the stage for an exciting future in which Fusion Processing continues to lead the way in automated driving solutions.
