EasyMile technology in use for the SAE level 4 mobility operation

Norway has reached a new milestone in autonomous mobility with its first driving operation completely removing any human supervisor from the vehicle. EasyMile has supplied its technology to Applied Autonomy, Vy, Yara, City & Lab and Herøya Industripark AS for the inaugural Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) level 4 mobility operation.

Launched at industrial premise Herøya, the deployment is an important step toward better mobility, zero-emissions and increased safety on private sites.

An EZ10 shuttle will carry employees to and from the canteen area and main gate. Beside it are lanes with cars, lorries, buses, pedestrians and cyclists. It will cross two intersections. The pilot project will initially run for five days before an evaluation is carried out.

"This project gives us valuable experience in the work of making Herøya an autonomous industrial park," says park CEO Sverre Gotaas.

With the added possibility of making the service on-demand, it paves the way for a clear roadmap in Norway to cost-efficient and fully flexible mobility services.


EasyMile's driverless technology uses robotics, computer vision and vehicle dynamics to teach vehicles how to behave without a human attendant on board. This means behaviours like recognising a stop sign, or knowing the difference between a pedestrian or a lamp post. Vehicles running the technology at level 4 of autonomous driving, like the one in Herøya, can handle the majority of driving situations independently.

With several mass operations around the world, EasyMile was also the first autonomous vehicle shuttle provider to deploy fully driverless at level 4 of autonomous driving.
