That includes $50 million from the fund and support from NVIDIA's venture arm. AXA, founded in 2014, targets repetitive tasks like towing and hauling goods in ports, airports and factories. It used to chase passenger car projects with shifted gears after exporting software to the United States, where it safely moved 20,000 people. Amid tough regulations, AXA's co-founder and chief technology officer, Paul Newman, who's also a professor at the University of Oxford, called the funding a win for the UK. He explained that off-highway industrial autonomy offers better business potential than

complex road-based passenger services, though they're tech aims. For universal use across environments, other backers in this round include UK Investor IP Group, Australia's Host Plus Pension Fund, and BP Ventures. UK Industry Minister Chris McDonald praised AXA as a prime example of British innovation boosting global freight efficiency and productivity.
