Researchers at MIT have devised a system for training autonomous driving systems how to drive. VISTA – Virtual Image Synthesis and Transformation for Autonomy – creates a photorealistic world with multiple steering possibilities, helping the […]
Researchers at MIT have developed a system that can sense tiny changes in shadows on the ground that could help autonomous vehicles determine if there’s a moving object coming around the corner. Successful experiments have […]
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is currently investigating a number of aspects of electric vehicle (EV) technology. One area examines the requirements and feasibility of wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging that would aid in realizing […]
Ford Motor Company is working on methods of keeping self-driving vehicles free on insects, as they pose a significant challenge to self-driving cars as they can seriously interfere with the sensors’ ability to deliver reliable […]
The US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded General Motors (GM) a total of $9.1 million as part of its 2019 fiscal year award funds – $2 million of which is explicitly related to research and […]
As part of the Horizon 2020 research project CARES (City Air Remote Emission Sensing), an international research consortium is working on new contactless exhaust measurement methods that will allow cities to take emission-reducing measures. The […]
The Blue Ribbon Task Force on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Mitigation at Airports – established by the Airports Council International-North America and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International – is calling for a rapid […]
Toyota, in a joint project with Sharp and NEDO, is set to start public road trials using solar batteries on electric cars. They will use a set of high-efficiency solar battery cells on its “Prius […]
Ohio-based electric utility, American Electric Power (AEP), and Honda are partnering to explore possible uses for used electric vehicle (EV) batteries, including renewables integration, while also seeking to address several challenges associated with the expansion […]
Volkswagen is preparing its mobile quick charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) for a pilot scheme to debut in the first half of 2019. The goal is to be able to use the stations in […]
