Arbe CEO Kobi Marenko writes about Euro NCAP’s Vision 2030 to improve automotive safety and the role of sensing technology for a future of zero fatalities from vehicle collisions.

The university is leading the 1000-MAD project that sees a Maserati MC20 Cielo retrofitted with “robo-driver” technology that will travel the entire 1000 Miglia route in June with a human co-driver in preparation for the more ambitious goal of driving the entire 2024 race in autonomous mode.

The ET25 in-cabin lidar is engineered to be placed behind the windshield, enabling car designers to overcome the limitations of most lidars on production and concept cars that have been roof-mounted and go back to sleeker designs with better aerodynamics.

The new collaboration will help Oxbotica simulate and test its autonomous vehicle operating system.

Autonomy improved as speeds increased for the teams from Carnegie Mellon University, NASA, and the University of Washington in the third test of the Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency competition.

The precision measurement and workflow solutions provider has strengthened its positioning, data services, and software offerings by expanding MC-X platform with a new GNSS option for compact construction equipment and acquiring Digital Construction Works.

The autonomous tech supplier addresses construction challenges, with new customer deals to identify key use cases and global expansion with a new dealer partner network for its retrofitting of heavy construction equipment to turn them into remote-operated and autonomous robots.

AIs trained to become horrible drivers can greatly slash costs of AV safety validation, according to researchers at University of Michigan, who are developing a new system that could help reduce the number of miles needed for testing by 99.99%.

Built on technology designed for highly complex and unpredictable on-road environments, the autonomous vehicle solutions provider founded by CEO Anthony Levandowski is working with Bell Trucks America on an off-road AHS approach as simpler and more cost-effective than the competition.

Recent deals with AVES Reality and B-Design3D, along with higher-performance Sensor Simulation (SensorSim) PC HPP, enable better sensor and algorithm validation in simulated real-world environments to extend the company’s Aurelion offering and get AVs on the road faster.
