Do autonomous cars need special license plates?

Do autonomous vehicles need their own license plate and why? The day may come when autonomous cars will be the norm and manual vehicles will be the exception. But it’s not that far yet – not for a long time. Just ten years ago, the term “autonomous driving” was still relatively unknown and only in… Continue reading Do autonomous cars need special license plates?

AI traffic light system to help avoid traffic jams

With artificial intelligence, traffic jams should be drastically reduced. Artificial intelligence can do a lot for traffic, not only in cars, but also in them infrastructure benefits from it. This is the result of a study by researchers from Aston University in Great Britain. It is said to be superior to other methods. The number… Continue reading AI traffic light system to help avoid traffic jams

Waymo’s robotic taxi escapes red-light crash

A Waymo autonomous car avoided an accident in which a human misbehaved. A red light violation happens again and again. Every 20 minutes in the US, according to the US Department of Transportation (DOT). Around 9,000 people have fallen victim to this behavior in the last ten years. The vehicle from Waymo noticed such an… Continue reading Waymo’s robotic taxi escapes red-light crash

Apollo-Oxbotica: Autonomous Driving Tests and the Insurance Question

The Apollo Group designed an insurance solution for Europe and Oxbotica implemented it. Insurance company, Apollo Group, has developed a unique insurance solution for Europe’s first autonomous road trip without on-board personnel on the public road, operated by start-up Oxbotica was implemented. The company Oxbotica is also testing autonomous driving in Germany, but the insurance… Continue reading Apollo-Oxbotica: Autonomous Driving Tests and the Insurance Question

Green wave through AI evaluation

Employees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are researching the green wave using artificial intelligence. There have already been a few approaches Green Wave in the past. The traffic lights were set to the correct speed or an app should suggest the speed. Now there is a new proposal, the one artificial intelligence includes.… Continue reading Green wave through AI evaluation

The question of the private car in autonomous driving

The question keeps coming up as to whether there are still private cars with autonomous driving or not? The question of private cars initially has two components. On the one hand, it is a question of economics and environmental compatibility, because the private car is a driver of CO2 emissions and a factor in the… Continue reading The question of the private car in autonomous driving

CMU collects data for autonomous off-road driving

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in the US are collecting data to train self-driving ATVs. To handle the vehicle in the terrain to learn, it must also be trained. This succeeds with data sets that represent real situations that the vehicle has to deal with. This should work with the new record of the Carnegie… Continue reading CMU collects data for autonomous off-road driving

Manipulation of autonomous driving made easy

Researchers at UC Irvine managed a simple manipulation of autonomous vehicles that could have dire consequences. Again and again, researchers or specialized companies succeed in introducing autonomous vehicles X for a U to pretend Also a Artist achieved this with a simple line. Now, researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have discovered that ordinary… Continue reading Manipulation of autonomous driving made easy

Pony.ai loses trial license in California

Startup Pony.ai loses permission to test autonomous vehicles in California. California was one of the first US states in which it was allowed to test autonomous driving on public roads without drivers on board. Pony.ai was one of the first companies to receive such approval. But At the end of last year a Pony.ai vehicle… Continue reading Pony.ai loses trial license in California
