Smarter robot swarms offer traffic-free blueprint for autonomous cars

One of a number of benefits promised by a future in which cars drive themselves is less congestion, with advanced autonomous vehicles being so adept at navigating the streets that they not only avoid slamming into each other, but keep traffic flowing m… Continue reading Smarter robot swarms offer traffic-free blueprint for autonomous cars→

MIT car-guiding tech sees beneath snow-covered roads

Ordinarily, self-driving cars use cameras and other sensors to “see” where they are on the road. However, what happens if the road markings are covered in snow? Well, MIT has developed a system that lets vehicles look beneath the asphalt instead.Contin… Continue reading MIT car-guiding tech sees beneath snow-covered roads→

Jaguar Land Rover shares its vision for autonomous urban mobility

Human drivers don’t really have much of a future if projects like the Sociable Cart, Motiv and Origin are anything to go by. Vehicles that drive themselves – and you – around city streets and urban sprawls are coming, and Jaguar Land Rover has jumped i… Continue reading Jaguar Land Rover shares its vision for autonomous urban mobility→
