Helping Autonomous Vehicles Navigate Tricky Highway Merges

Helping Autonomous Vehicles Navigate Tricky Highway Merges
  • A technique that allows autonomous vehicle software to make the relevant calculations more quickly.
  • Improving both traffic and safety in simulated autonomous vehicle systems.
  • If autonomous vehicles are ever going to achieve widespread adoption, we need to know they are capable of navigating complex traffic situations.

Software of Autonomous Driving Systems

Software of Autonomous Driving Systems
  • A method for generating safety-critical simulation scenarios and an adaptive control procedure for compensating for internal errors.
  • “Autonomous vehicles would have to be driven around 200 million kilometers to prove their reliability — especially for accident scenarios.
  • That is 10,000 times more test kilometers than are required for conventional cars.

Driving Behaviors Harbor Early Signals of Dementia

Driving Behaviors Harbor Early Signals of Dementia
  • Naturalistic driving data refer to data captured through in-vehicle recording devices or other technologies in the real-world setting.
  • These data could be processed to measure driving exposure, space and performance in great detail.
  • “Driving is a complex task involving dynamic cognitive processes and requiring essential cognitive functions and perceptual motor skills.

Autonomous Driving: Saving Millions in Test Kilometers

Autonomous Driving: Saving Millions in Test Kilometers
  • “In the field of highly automated driving”, however, driving simulator studies are often questioned because of the lack of realism.
  • Additionally, complex tasks like the mutual interaction between a human and a system could not be tested using standardised test procedures until recently.
  • The system must recognize that the person behind the wheel is capable of doing this.

Realistic Simulated Driving Environment Based on ‘Crash-Prone’ Michigan Intersection

Realistic Simulated Driving Environment Based on ‘Crash-Prone’ Michigan Intersection
  • Real-time data collected at the two-lane roundabout will be used to efficiently test the safety of autonomous vehicles.
  • It created a simulation of what drivers encounter every day and is known as the Neural Naturalistic Driving Environment .
  • For autonomous vehicle software to be safe before other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians ever cross its path, virtual roadways like this one are required.

AI Voice Coach Shows Potential for Treating Depression and Anxiety

AI Voice Coach Shows Potential for Treating Depression and Anxiety
  • A study found changes in patients’ brain activity along with improved depression and anxiety symptoms after using Lumen.
  • The study, which was the first to test an AI voice-based virtual coach for behavioral therapy.
  • It discovered that using Lumen, an AI voice assistant that provided a form of psychotherapy.

New Wireless System for Greater 5G Access

New Wireless System for Greater 5G Access
  • With the development of more automation, faster and more powerful wireless networks.
  • The infrastructure that connects people to these resources has fallen behind.
  • The advancement from 4G to 5G allows for higher speeds and bandwidth overall.

Location-Aware Source-Shifting Meta structures Made From a Single Resin

Location-Aware Source-Shifting Meta structures Made From a Single Resin
  • Numerous transformation optics techniques have been applied to sound waves, creating the parallel field of transformation acoustics.
  • The idea of an acoustic source-shifter involves using a structure to distort the location of the sound source’s apparent location.
  • It has been difficult to create accessible materials and surfaces that would perform well.
