About AutoDrive
AutoDrive combines cameras, lidar, radar, localisation, onboard compute and behaviour software with drive-by-wire control of the host vehicle. Redundant positioning methods support navigation when GPS is unreliable, and perception and planning handle roads, yards and off-road terrain.
Forterra adapts the autonomy system to each vehicle’s steering, braking, propulsion and safety architecture and has integrated more than 50 platform types. TerraLink provides command, fleet supervision and mission assignment across defence, port, logistics-yard and industrial deployments.
