Autonomous driving without a steering wheel: USA and China

There are new efforts worldwide to initiate autonomous driving without a steering wheel and pedals. Examples are Ford, GM and Baidu. Autonomous vehicles must be recognizable in order to be spotted. One thinks of markings, Mark or special colors and lights. But another identifying feature in the future will be the lack of one steering… Continue reading Autonomous driving without a steering wheel: USA and China
