autonomous vehicles

Anyone who’s ever watched a video of a zipper merge knows the chances of a group of random drivers actually collaborating to make it happen safely are slim to nil. While more and more vehicle manufacturers offer smart features such as lane…

The National Highway Safety Transportation Administration is clear: driver assistance technologies save lives and prevent injuries. Lane keeping, back-up warning, and automatic braking can help vehicles identify safety risks and avoid…

The technology required to make autonomous cars a commonplace reality is here. But they aren’t economically viable yet. The biggest obstacle to making them cheap enough for everyday adoption is the cost of LiDAR, the technology that enables…

The human/autonomous vehicle relationship is, at this point, quite symbiotic: some researchers are creating algorithms so self-driving cars can understand, predict, and adjust for human behavior, like MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial…

Like all disruptive technologies, autonomous vehicles will have both positive and negative impacts on our lives and economies. Jobs in transportation, mining, and manufacturing industries that will be lost as a result of increased adoption…

As anyone who’s bought a new car in the last decade knows, automotive technology has changed dramatically. Whether it’s the collision avoidance or parking assistance features, our vehicles increasingly make decisions for us. But as both…

With the North American fully autonomous car market projected to reach $52.3 billion by 2030, researchers, start-ups, and OEMs are scrambling to ensure they can meet government safety regulations. University of Waterloo engineers has…

Using artificial intelligence to build a neural network that can integrate past driving experiences and physics-based trajectories, autonomous cars will be able to fine-tune their in-the-moment environmental assessments and benefit from…

Almost one-third of the exhibitors who attended CES 2019 in Las Vegas were from China. Especially in the autonomous driving industry, Chinese companies are igniting some competition at a dramatically fast speed. This year, at CES, …

At CES 2019, Nissan demonstrated the future of driving to CES visitors through an interactive, three-dimensional immersion experience at Nissan's display. Invisible-to-Visible, or I2V, is a future technology that helps drivers "see the…
