The Autonomous Vehicles are coming! Are you ready?
Here you can have a weekly overview of the most relevant news on this groundbreaking technology
Autonomous vehicles have long lived in our imagination since the Jetsons, and if we can imagine, we can do it. The great challenge of mastering gravity has not yet been achieved, but we continue to try on the roads.
This new wave of vehicles will have a monumental impact on our lives. It is already redesigning the transportation chain. This is because the autonomous (and the “semi”) do not only need exhaust, engine, and gear to run. That’s the least of it.
They embed “under the hood” a myriad of electronic devices, such as sensors, chips, radars, connectivity points, cameras, and, to sum up, all sorts of algorithms.
