Oxa :: Universal Autonomy Software & Full-Stack Solutions for Self-Driving Vehicles

Oxa (formerly Oxbotica) is a leading British autonomous technology company headquartered in Oxford, United Kingdom. Founded in 2014 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford’s Mobile Robotics Group, Oxa develops universal autonomy software and full-stack solutions for self-driving vehicles across multiple domains, including passenger shuttles, commercial trucks, mining haul trucks, and urban delivery robots. The company’s mission is to make autonomy safe, scalable, and accessible by providing a single, adaptable software platform that works across diverse vehicle types and operating environments without requiring massive custom engineering for each use case. Oxa has raised significant funding (over $200 million) and operates globally with offices in the UK, US, and Singapore. The company is recognized for its strong safety culture, rigorous validation processes, and open, collaborative approach to autonomy.

Oxa’s core product is Oxa Pilot, a modular, full-stack autonomous driving system that includes perception, planning, control, and fleet management capabilities. It uses a combination of cameras, LiDAR, radar, and high-definition maps, supported by advanced AI and simulation tools. The platform is designed to be vehicle-agnostic and can be deployed on everything from small shuttles to Class 8 trucks. Oxa emphasizes Safety by Design, with extensive simulation, scenario-based testing, and real-world validation to meet the highest safety standards.

Key robot-based and autonomous products/solutions include:

• Oxa Pilot for Passenger Shuttles: Deployed in multiple cities for last-mile and campus transport. The system enables driverless operation in mixed traffic with high reliability.
• Oxa Pilot for Commercial Trucks: Focused on highway and regional freight, providing Level 4 autonomy for long-haul operations with human oversight for edge cases.
• Oxa Pilot for Mining: Autonomous haul trucks and support vehicles for open-pit mining operations, improving safety and productivity in harsh environments.
• Oxa Pilot for Urban Delivery: Autonomous delivery robots and small vehicles for last-mile logistics in cities.

Oxa also provides Oxa World, a comprehensive simulation and validation platform, and offers autonomy-as-a-service models to accelerate adoption. The company has completed numerous commercial pilots and deployments in partnership with major OEMs and operators worldwide. Its technology is known for robustness in complex urban and industrial settings and for a pragmatic approach that balances performance with safety and regulatory compliance.
