Driverless Future

Two current approaches to autonomous driving are as follows: the “Google Car Paradigm” involves ensuring that each vehicle can sense and perceive the world, and then act accordingly, while the “V2X Paradigm” involves vehicles that communicate with one another, as well as the infrastructure, to act in a coordinated way. The latter approach promises improved safety, mobility, and environmental sustainability, although to date these claims have limited verification. Professor Cody Fleming will explore several challenges and opportunities in so-called Intelligent Transportation Systems, exploring examples in both ground and air transportation.
