Autonomous Vehicles
-
When a road is covered in snow or obscured by fog, the navigation systems of self-driving cars may have trouble seeing where that road is. Specially equipped pavement markers could help, by continuously transmitting radio signals to passing vehicles.
-
With autonomous vehicles already rolling on public roads, researchers from the University of Nottingham in the UK have used a camouflaged driver to look at how pedestrians react to visual cues from oncoming cars without a human at the wheel.
-
In an effort to keep livestock safe from coyotes while not harming the predators themselves, researchers ran experiments with a remote-controlled vehicle. The solution worked, hinting at a future in which robot ranch hands could work night patrol.
-
GAC Advanced Design has imagined a wildly capable autonomous RV concept called Vanlife. The fully autonomous vision is designed to drive over all types of earthen terrain, whisking passengers on an outdoorsy adventure while they sleep soundly inside.
-
Back in 2018, Honda introduced a rugged all-terrain vehicle capable of lugging stuff around construction sites autonomously. That Autonomous Work Vehicle has now entered its third generation, and will be shown off in Las Vegas later this month.
-
BAE Systems Autonomous Pacific 24 (AP24) Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) has taken a major step from development to deployment, the robotic naval vessel being awarded Lloyd's Register Unmanned Marine Systems Certification for its design and construction.
-
Zoox has announced the deployment on open public roads of its purpose-built electric robotaxi. Able to carry up to four passengers, the fully self-driving vehicle is being put to work shuttling the company's employees around Foster City, California.
-
In order to optimize traffic flow, many autonomous vehicles communicate with one another and with traffic control systems. Scientists are now suggesting that an extra white light at intersections could help incorporate human drivers into the mix.
-
Italian design house Pininfarina is usually associated with supercars such as Ferraris. Now, however, the company has teamed up with Austrian mobility firm Benteler to produce an autonomous electric shuttle known as the Holon.
-
The all-new Peugoet Inception concept bowed at CES 2023, showing extreme styling with edges so sharp you might slice a finger on them. The concept promises a much bolder future for the Peugeot EV.
-
Sony has been inching into the EV market ever since it surprised CES 2020 with the impressively put-together Vision-S concept. With the help of Honda, it now makes its biggest move yet, launching the Afeela badge and the first EV that will wear it.

If fruit is going to be grown using herbicides – which is still largely the case – then the fewer of the chemicals that are used, the better. The Herbicide GUSS autonomous robotic spray vehicle was designed with just such concerns in mind.
