Costimulation Engages the Gear in Driving CARs

Self-Driving Cars

Where Is Computing Driving Cars?

Cars offer an excellent example of ubiquitous computing, and a technological revolution is currently underway that will eventually see in-vehicle computers empowered with increasingly complex sections of the driving task. In this article, we critically review the effect of ubiquitous computing in cars with reference to the psychology of the driver and present a survey of automotive researchers ...

Executive Summary Driving Safely in Smart Cars

We address the following question how do we know a proposed design for an Automated Vehicle Highway System AVHS is safe In particular can we prove that there can be no high relative velocity collision on the AVHS We show that if the controllers in the vehicles satisfy a set of constraints then the AVHS is safe The problem of checking whether the controllers satisfy the constraints is equivalent...

Driving Cars by Means of Genetic Algorithms

The techniques and the technologies supporting Automatic Vehicle Guidance are an important issue. Automobile manufacturers view automatic driving as a very interesting product with motivating key features which allow improvement of the safety of the car, reducing emission or fuel consumption or optimizing driver comfort during long journeys. Car racing is an active research field where new adva...

Self-Driving Cars - An AI-Robotics Challenge

In recent years, all major automotive companies have launched initiatives towards cars that assist people in making driving decisions. The ultimate goal of all these efforts are cars that can drive themselves. The benefit of such a technology could be enormous. At present, some 42,000 people die every year in traffic accidents in the U.S., mostly because of human error. Self-driving cars could ...
