New Driverless Car Safety System to Protect Pedestrians and Build Trust Jaguar Innovation Jaguar has just unveiled this unique driverless car projection technology.  The system uses bars of light reflected on the road ahead of the vehicle to let pedestrians know exactly where the vehicle is headed.   The purpose is to build trust for the vehicles with pedestrians.  For a great news blog on this, go to Important Innovations Collection: Jaguar's Unique Projection Technology for Driverle... : Driverless Car Trajectory Displays Source:  Jaguar Bars of Light to Protect Pedestrians and Build Trust Jaguar Land Rover has just d...

New Driverless Car Tech Source:  Mercedes Self-Driving Car Concept Big Energy Efficiencies and Travel Time Savings Engineers at the University of Delaware, in collaboration with Boston University, have developed a new technology system for driverless cars that could make traffic lights and speeding tickets obsolete. The researchers used control theory to develop algorithms to control and minimize energy consumption in autonomous cars crossing city intersections with no traffic lights.  That's just the start. Energy Efficient Mobility Systems They used the software to simulate results.  The system enables the cars to conserve fuel and momentum while cutting travel time to their destinations.  The engineers are developing solutions that could enable the future of energy efficient mobility systems. Results and Potential The results have been published in the journal Automatica.  The team has created innovative tech to yield optimal acceleration and deceleration in spee
