AgeTech: Supporting Safe Driving for Older Adults

The automobile is considered essential for transportation in most Western countries. Numerous studies indicate that driving ability declines as people age, especially after 80, leading to increased crash rates and poorer performance on driving tests.

New Directions in Vehicle Communications

Recently, the research community's focus has shifted to new directions in 5G and 6G wireless networks. This shift, driven by advances in the automotive industry and the growing demand for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), is ushering in a new era of networked wireless systems. The promise of CAVs to deliver safer travel, reduced pollution, and optimized solutions is a compelling driver for this transformation. 

Safe Autonomous Driving

In the past decade, autonomous systems have attracted the attention of many researchers and companies on a global scale. To fully deploy highly automated driving technologies in more general settings, such as urban driving, the autonomous system needs to sense the surrounding environment reliably and interact with it safely. To that end, the open problems related to safe autonomous driving span from designing cost-effective, robust, and reliable sensors to developing powerful perception and motion planning and control algorithms. 

Exploring Cybersecurity for Electric Vehicles

With the development of networking technology for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), there are opportunities for persistent and dangerous cyber-attacks. If these threats are not detected (especially for safety-critical applications), they can lead to catastrophic failure and substantial economic loss.

Deep Learning Helps Autonomous Vehicles Operate in Extreme Weather

Similar to human drivers, adverse weather conditions still pose as a major obstacle for autonomous vehicles (AVs). Using a deep learning framework, researchers have developed a new detection and tracking system aimed at solving how AVs “see” their surroundings.

New System Could Bring Autonomous Technology to More Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles have gone from hype to reality in recent years, and companies of all sizes are now looking to hop on the driverless bandwagon.
