A Human Factors Perspective on Automated Driving Automated driving can fundamentally change road transportation and improve quality of life. However, at present, the role of humans in automated vehicles (AVs) is not clearly established. Interviews were conducted in April and May 2015 with twelve expert researchers in the field of Human Factors (HF) of automated driving to identify commonalities and distinctive perspectives regarding HF challenges in the development of AVs. The experts indicated that an AV up to SAE Level 4 should... [Lire la suite]

But emergency situations happen rarely, and NEXYAD team thought that bringing anticipation (skills to avoid emergency situations as much as possible) is a good way to reduc accident rate. They bring a Global Road Safety platform that includes real time driving risk assessment with their SafetyNex technology. When risk starts to ris a... [Lire la suite]

Driving forward: What’s the state of autonomous vehicles today? Autonomous vehicles are gradually finding their way onto our roads. Earlier this year, Waymo, the self-driving unit of Google's sister-company Alphabet, carried out successful trials of autonomous taxis in California, transporting over 6,200 people in the first month and many thousands since. They’re proving a practical business case for autonomous vehicles. Also in the U.S., Walmart is using autonomous cargo vans to deliver groceries in Arizona, while Pizza Hut is... [Lire la suite]
