Jennifer Strong:Part of his job is teaching autonomous vehicles to be more “human,” because there are lots of things we do while driving simply for our own comfort. We favor smoother turns, and we don’t drive in the exact middle of a lane next to parked cars. He and his team stud...
Lower-density cities that are heavily car-dependent, such as Phoenix, tend to be more dangerous for pedestrians. The vehicle-centric city Modern U.S. cities are designed largely for motor vehicles. At the turn of the 20th century, people and cars shared city streets, which served as places ...
There is good reason to be encouraged by the progress that AV developers are making with autonomous driving systems that keep drivers safe, but anyone getting too enchanted with the current state of autonomous technology should click on the video below, which illustrates the significant problems AVs...
Companies and researchers are divided on the answer to that question. Approaches to autonomous driving range from just cameras andcomputer visionto a combination of computer vision and advanced sensors. Tesla has been a vocal champion for thepure vision-based approach to autonomous driving, and in ...
Thanks to the rise in new electric, autonomous, and carbon-neutral forms of transportation, infrastructure design can now play a role in the energy-saving policies established by the European Union as part of the Green Deal. Case in point: Nearly half of France’s greenhouse-gas emissions are...
Be it mobile phones, overly complicated dashboards, vapes or loose pets, drivers are never too far away from something that can take their eyes off the road for a dangerous amount of time “New technical rules for ADAS are being finalized in Geneva, at the World Forum for Harmonization of...

We may have just seen a major player in the drive towards autonomous cars apply screeching brakes. Apple has reportedlyabandoned its plansto build its own self-driving electric vehicle and is instead going to focus on the underlying autonomous software. A similar initiative to produce a fully aut...
López, the peace activist, has been asking for soldiers and police to be posted outside schools, so children can return to classes — most are currently taking classes online because their parents judge it too dangerous to take them to school. But police can't solve the problem: Culiacan'...
Semiautonomous driving systems are designed to ignore unmoving obstacles because otherwise, they couldn't work at all.
