Corporate marketmobilitylogisticsCurated record

Oxa (formerly Oxbotica, rebranded May 2023) builds Oxa Driver, a universal autonomy software stack designed to run on any vehicle type; shuttles, buses, industrial tow tractors, and ground support equipment; without vehicle-specific hardware changes. The platform covers perception, prediction, planning, and control and can be deployed without high-definition maps. Its first commercial passenger deployment launched in February 2024 with Beep Inc. operating vehicles for the Jacksonville Transportation Authority at Florida State College at Jacksonville; a second Florida deployment followed in Lake Nona (Orlando). Additional commercial deployments include a DHL airside Bradshaw T800 tow tractor at Heathrow and the Sunderland self-driving bus service (announced January 2025).
