"Our vision is a world in which the transportation of people and goods is fully automated and seamless, freeing up time and mental resources for other tasks. Continental will contribute its deep technological understanding and competence in the mobility world, while Oxford offers best-in-class algorithmic competence and an extremely innovative environment.

With their help, we can transform our vision into reality; with our help, Oxford can see how their research is translated into new products and services for mobility of a future world", says Demetrio Aiello, Head of Artificial Intelligence & Robotics at Continental.

"Recent advances of artificial intelligence can revolutionize key technological areas such as transportation. The Oxford Visual Geometry Group is thrilled to collaborate with Continental in applying its cutting-edge research in deep learning and computer vision to the important and demanding domain of assisted mobility.

"We believe that, due to the extensive presence of Continental's technology in the automotive sector, incorporating state-of-the-art artificial intelligence systems in their products has a significant transformative potential for this area.", says Professor Andrea Vedaldi, a principal investigator in the Visual Geometry Group.
