Armed Forces: Driverless Vehicles
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on digital testing, simulation and virtual development environments to support the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles.
- Answer
-
As autonomous vehicles become commonplace in Defence’s Research, Development and Planning, the investment in the digital testing, simulation and virtual development environments is often bespoke to the nature and role of the capability and integrated into the overall cost of the project. This work takes place across the MOD and there is no central record of the MOD’s spend on these environments.
