About

About Fusion Processing

Founded in Bristol in 2012, Fusion Processing is an autonomy-stack developer and vehicle integrator rather than a vehicle manufacturer. CAVstar combines sensor processing, localisation, path planning, actuation control and remote supervision in a configurable system for public transport and commercial vehicles.

The company has applied the stack to full-size buses, depot automation and public-road autonomous services, working with vehicle OEMs and operators to add redundant control and no-user-in-charge capability. The Connector programme will upgrade an existing Enviro100AEV and add a larger Enviro200AEV, moving the Cambridge bus deployment toward full SAE Level 4 operation and a repeatable commercial package.
