This past winter, people in Trondheim caught glimpses of a boat that seemed to fly over the water out on the fjord. Many also took part in test trips. NTNU researchers have investigated what it […]

For nearly a month, a Croatian company has been rolling out what it says is Europe’s first robotaxi service on the streets of Zagreb, with AFP among the first journalists to try it on Tuesday.This […]

At high speeds, even the smallest movement can have major consequences. When an aircraft tilts sharply during flight, the air around it does not flow smoothly. It twists into powerful, swirling currents that can destabilize […]

Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology have developed a more accurate way to predict conditions inside wind tunnels that are used to study how air behaves at speeds up to four times faster […]

In a world where cell phones and cars guide us everywhere, we’ve come to trust global positioning as much as we trust our own senses. What happens when that trust is broken?This post was originally […]

Electric vehicle sales in China and Europe have reached a threshold or “tipping point” that has triggered an irreversible shift away from their petrol and diesel-powered equivalents. For their article published in Nature Communications, researchers […]

From driving cars to flying drones, as autonomous robots take on more responsibility, they also face more human-like dilemmas—including what to do when rules collide.This post was originally published on this site.

On average, car crashes cause more than 40,000 deaths per year in the United States. Technologies like seat belts, advanced airbags, and automated braking systems have improved car driver and passenger safety, but pedestrian deaths […]

Automated vehicles have been steadily rolling out in U.S. cities, but scaled deployment still faces a daunting challenge: proving the technology can safely navigate the complexity of real-world driving. Virginia Tech researchers estimate that traditional […]

For many people, the rollout of smart technology across the UK’s road network has been clouded by fears about the removal of traffic-free safety lanes. Traditionally, motorway hard shoulders offered motorists a safe haven into […]
