News and information about vehicles which can drive themselves without human supervision or input. Unmanned vehicles are vehicles which are either controlled remotely, or perhaps operate autonomously.

Electric, Autonomous Vehicles Offer Promise, But Broad-Based Benefits Elusive Without Public Role

Electric, Autonomous Vehicles Offer Promise, But Broad-Based Benefits Elusive Without Public Role

ANN ARBOR—Autonomous and electric vehicles can be a positive force for people and the planet, but widespread gains require government incentives and investment to ensure access for users across the economic spectrum. That's a key finding of research by Elisabeth Gerber, a professor at University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy. She focuses on

Chipmakers To Carmakers: Time To Get Out Of The Semiconductor Stone Age

Chipmakers To Carmakers: Time To Get Out Of The Semiconductor Stone Age

DETROIT -When it comes to the electronic circuits that power our everyday lives, the automobile is simultaneously the world’s most expensive consumer good and the one that runs on the cheapest possible semiconductor chips. Moore’s law of ever-increasing miniaturization seemingly never reached the automotive industry. Dozens of chips found in everything from electronic brake systems

UM Study: Self-Driving Cars May Induce People To Travel More, Negating Green Benefits

UM Study: Self-Driving Cars May Induce People To Travel More, Negating Green Benefits

ANN ARBOR—The benefits of self-driving cars will likely induce vehicle owners to drive more, and those extra miles could partially or completely offset the potential energy-saving benefits that automation may provide, according to a new University of Michigan study. In the coming years, self-driving cars are expected to yield significant improvements in safety, traffic flow

MIT Report: Who Decides The Moral Dilemma Of Self-Driving Cars?

BOSTON - You’re driving along the highway when, suddenly, a person darts out across the busy road. There’s speeding traffic all around you, and you have a split second to make the decision: do you swerve to avoid the person and risk causing an accident? Do you carry on and hope to miss them? Do

Teaching Self-Driving Cars To Predict Pedestrian Movement

ANN ARBOR – By zeroing in on humans’ gait, body symmetry and foot placement, University of Michigan researchers are teaching self-driving cars to recognize and predict pedestrian movements with greater precision than current technologies. Data collected by vehicles through cameras, LiDAR (laser-based radar) and GPS allow the researchers to capture video snippets of humans in
