Hayden Field writes in his article for MIT Technology Review, Self-driving cars are being trained in virtual worlds while the real one is in chaos: “For safety reasons, autonomous vehicles typically have two operators apiece. That’s a no-go in the age of social distancing, and leaders of autonomous-vehicle companies knew they’d have to mothball their…

Professor Mohammed Quddus of the university, the principal investigator on the project, says: “Although CAVs are designed with existing infrastructure in mind, ensuring they are safe to operate on motorways will require evaluating how road layouts affects their operational boundaries such as their ability to sense lanes and make appropriate decisions.”

Emily Hayter, lead software architect at WAN data acceleration provider Bridgeworks, finds that currently there are an insufficient number of cross-industry collaborations. However, she finds that there are many start-ups that “may be more open to partnerships to cover the bases”. She adds: “Part of that view comes from all of the large vehicle manufacturers,…

With ‘new build’ housing the situation is going to be slightly easier. Cousens explains why: “The government is signaling that any new build with an allocated parking place should have a charging point.

It reports that it has seen “rapid growth of connected fleet solutions in commercial vehicles and company cars: from 37 million in 2016 to 64.1 million in 2019”. It also finds that connected fleet UBI policies will reach…

David Trossell, CEO and CTO of WAN data acceleration company Bridgeworks, offers some supporting comments: “The one thing that companies overlook when considering the Cloud is the latency between the data point and the Cloud. This can have a dramatic effect on the performance of the connection. For those time critical operations, it is better…

With a suite of sensors, it’s possible to gather all of the types of information required to keep connected and autonomous vehicles safe on the road. While the data is collated from radar, LiDAR and cameras, the information gleaned from them has to become fused to create a complete and comprehensive view of the world…
