The autonomous vehicles of Google’s sibling Waymo are significantly safer than ones driven by humans,…

Relatively inexperienced drivers fare poorly in case of driver takeover, which may suggest regulations are needed to account for them.

The root of the problem appears to be how the images used to train the systems feature more adults and lighter-skinned pedestrians.

New strategy can help avoid complex models of the self-driving vehicles and their environments, as well as the expensive, time-consuming validation of those models.

The new intelligent speed assist solution allows OEMs whose vehicles already integrate the supplier’s EyeQ4- and EyeQ6 chips to meet the new regulation by updating software without any new hardware requirements.

Sensors and microchips in pavement markers could provide road condition data and shift part of a car’s processing loads to infrastructure, says a research team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Western Michigan University.

This latest $50 Million Series B funding round bolsters the company’s position as a pioneering company digitizing signalized city intersections to help better adapt infrastructure for the rise of autonomous vehicles.

Using a scientist behind the steering wheel disguised as a car seat, researchers find the most expressive signals proved best.

A lack of understanding of social cues can lead autonomous vehicles to move when they should stop and stop when they can go, a new study finds.

Interacting with drivers may help keep their attention on the road to boost safety.
