More security in electronic vehicle systems
Modern vehicles have a large number of electronic systems that are networked with each other. Since these systems are at risk from cyber attacks, Fraunhofer IPMS developed a CANsec IP…
Data that could train self-driving ATVs
Carnegie Mellon Roboticists go off road to compile dataset likely largest for off-road environments. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University took an all-terrain vehicle on wild rides through tall grass, loose…
Sophisticated fluid mechanics model is on a roll
Rice-Waseda project ups its game for complexity with aerodynamic model of a moving car and its tires. The complex aerodynamics around a moving car and its tires are hard to…
Fraunhofer ISIT develops MEMS scanner for wide-angle LIDAR systems
LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an indispensable key technology in the development of autonomous driving cars. LIDAR systems use emitted laser beams to very accurately detect their surroundings and…
Technique improves AI ability to understand 3D space using 2D images
Researchers have developed a new technique, called MonoCon, that improves the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) programs to identify three-dimensional (3D) objects, and how those objects relate to each other…
Impaired-driver sensor could pave the way for safer vehicles
The bipartisan infrastructure bill recently signed into law by President Joe Biden includes a requirement for automakers to install driver monitoring systems that detect intoxicated or impaired drivers. Current systems…
