It Turns Out, Humans Are Pretty Smart: Developing Self-Driving Cars Is Harder Than We Thought

August 3, 2020

By Bob Brydia Self-driving cars. We’ve been promised for years they were “coming soon.” Most estimates a decade ago thought self-driving cars would be commonplace by now. Yet, here we are in 2020, and self-driving cars — what the industry calls autonomous vehicles (AVs) — still largely exist only in science fiction. So much for […]

Looking to the Future with the Texas Connected Freight Corridors Project

March 1, 2020

Imagine yourself driving a truck along I-35 filled with perishable goods. You rely on your eyes to predict what you might encounter on the road ahead, though you can’t always see every hazard. Advanced transportation technologies can make the difference, noticing (and reacting to) things the human eye can’t. Mobility, safety, reliability, security — all […]
