While bicycle-sharing systems certainly are proving to be popular, they still have a few problems, such as the limited availability of bikes. Researchers at the MIT Media Lab are working on a solution, in the form of the MIT Autonomous Bicycle.Continue… Continue reading MIT’s shared ebike transforms into a self-driving trike
Through its years-long partnership with Waymo, Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has taken an active role in the development of self-driving technology, and is now expanding the scope of its efforts to include vehicles of a slightly larger footprint. The two compani… Continue reading Waymo and Fiat Chrysler begin work on autonomous Ram ProMaster vans
Self-driving startup Nuro is well-positioned to pursue its ambitions of autonomous delivery, having received a first-of-its-kind exemption from the US Department of Transport back in February. The company is building on this through a new partnership w… Continue reading Nuro’s autonomous vehicles to deliver CVS prescriptions in Texas
