Waymo is making its Waymo Open Dataset for autonomous vehicles (AVs) available to the research community for free.
Waymo is hoping the data will help researchers make advances in 2D and 3D perception and progress in areas such as domain adaptation and behaviour prediction.
The company says each segment of driving data captures 20 seconds of continuous driving, allowing researchers to develop models to track and predict the behaviour of other road users.
This dataset covers dense and suburban environmen
A driving simulator designed to improve safety at speed for all emergency service vehicle drivers has been launched by Babcock International.
Whilst the prototype has been created to mimic a standard fire engine, Babcock believes the concept can be adapted to train the drivers of any emergency response vehicle.
The simulator features a 200° wraparound screen with modifiable seat and controls, while its software is programmed with 270km (167 miles) of multi-terrain routes including urban, city and rura
The UK government has suggested that driverless cars could be on the roads by 2021. But designers and engineers are grappling with a number of difficult issues, muses Chris Hayhurst of MathWorks
Earlier this year, the UK government made the bold statement that by 2021, driverless cars will be on the UK’s roads. But is this an achievable reality?
Driverless technology already has its use cases on our roads, with levels of autonomy ranked on a scale. At one end of the spectrum, level 1 is defined by th
