Study: Autonomous driving could help with road works

A recent study shows that using an autonomous truck to follow a vehicle carrying human drivers during “mobile work zones” could help prevent roadworker injuries. Mobile work zones are teams performing work from a variety of vehicles. For example, convoys (platoons) from construction vehicles. According to the University of Missouri Department of Civil and Environmental… Continue reading Study: Autonomous driving could help with road works
