These days the broad consensus on the future of driving seems to be that the car of tomorrow will be (at least partly) autonomous. Many companies, including traditional car makers, suppliers and leading tech companies are currently working on self-driving technology, all eager to save themselves...
The future of cars: Electric and autonomous vehicles While electric cars waned in popularity throughout much of the 20th century, the electric vehicle market has entered a new period of growth and evolution. Advancements in battery technology have made electric vehicles cheaper and more efficient ove...
Fordformed a partnershipwith Volkswagen in 2019 to develop commercial vehicles, autonomous technology, and electric cars. It alsoinvested $500 millioninto electric truck startup Rivian, though what the project will spawn hasn’t been made public yet. General Motors Image used with permission by copy...
Additionally, time has yielded advancements in the way we apply technology to the real world, particularly through aerial mobility and autonomous systems. For example, drone delivery is no longer a sci-fi storyline—it’s a business reality, which means there are new needs to be met. We’ve...
If Tesla can develop autonomous cars without that tech, Keeney says that would be a huge advantage. “It’s a riskier strategy but it could pay off for them in the end,” she explains. “If Tesla solves [self-driving cars without LIDAR], everyone else is going to be kicking thems...
Autonomous driving will bring additional benefits: a reduction in the number of traffic accidents, 10% lower fuel consumption, and 20% less air pollution. Even streets will see an upgrade. Traffic management systems and virtual emergency lanes will eliminate congestion through tailored streets. ...
10% in the US and Europe, and 4% in Japan. (These percentages assume the availability of autonomous vehicles that lower the cost per mile of shared mobility.) Increased xEV sales to consumers, thanks primarily to falling TCO, will more than counterbalance the impact of this reduction in shar...
The only thing that distinguished the owner from all others in Xinduqiao is a temporary basketball court in the backyard. Xinduqiao, a Tibetan enclave situated in the southwestern region of Sichuan Province, falls within the...
Self-driving cars and autonomous transportation systems are projected to create radical societal changes, yet public understanding and trust of self-driving cars and autonomous systems is limited. The authors present a new mixed-reality experience designed to provide its users with insights into the ...
Samii had moved to Pittsburgh to work for a self-driving car company, Argo.ai, a start-up funded by Ford and Volkswagen. He led a team that designed the user interface between human passengers and the autonomous vehicle, acting as a human-machine translator. But as he developed the softwar...
