Autonomous Trucks and Other Vehicles Turn Towards Delivery Services
The need to socially distance during the COVID-19 pandemic is causing many autonomous vehicle manufacturers to slam the brakes on automated taxi services. However, the pandemic has created new opportunities […]
How the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Work Together
The finite element method (FEM) and finite element analysis (FEA) work together to give engineers insight into the structural behavior of particular designs, so they can locate weak points and […]
How Data Is Being Used to Train Autonomous Vehicles to Navigate Roadways
Autonomous vehicles will need to traverse at least 11 billion miles of on-the-road training to match the driving abilities of human drivers, but the COVID-19 pandemic has erected a major […]
Researchers Make Breakthroughs in Autonomous Vehicle Systems
In recent years, autonomous vehicles have made significant progress. Waymo, a subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, recently incorporated its next-generation hardware sensor system into its Jaguar I-Pace vehicles. The […]
