Equipping Prosecutors for the Fight Against Human Trafficking in the Commercial Motor Vehicle Industry

A significant front in this battle exists on our roads, exploited by human traffickers, and overlooked by many, until now. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), recognizing the strategic role of America’s 8.7-million-strong commercial motor vehicle (CMV) workforce, has launc...

Impacts of Autonomous Driving Technology on Human-vehicle Interaction and Decision-making

Autonomous driving technology is rapidly growing and has the potential to revolutionize the way we travel. However, this new technology presents several challenges, including how to create human-vehicle interactions that are safe, efficient, and user-friendly. One of the key challenges lies in ensur...

Vehicle Detection and Tracking From a Front-Face Camera

In order to detect vehicles — or any other objects — we need to know what differentiates them from the rest of the image captured by the camera. Colors and gradients are good differentiators but the most important features will depend on the appearance of the objects. Color alone as a...

Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Vehicles

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the automotive industry by storm to drive the development of level-4 and level-5 autonomous vehicles. Why do you think AI has become so popular now, though it has been around since the 1950s? Simply put, the reason behind this explosion of AI is the humong...

Vehicle Detection with HOG and Linear SVM

A class of objects such as a vehicle vary so much in color. Structural cues like shape give a more robust representation. Gradients of specific directions captures some notion of shape. To allow for some variability in shape, we’ll use features known as Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG). ...

Does an vehicle with autopilot require a specific car insurance? By Floyd Corner.

In summary, while vehicles with autopilot features are generally covered under standard car insurance policies, the specific features of these systems can influence premiums, coverage requirements, and liability assessments. It’s important for owners of such vehicles to understand how their au...

How to make a vehicle autonomous

When thinking about autonomous vehicles we consider the idea of a car that can take us from origin to destination without the need for human intervention. Various levels of autonomy have been defined by SAE International (Society of Automotive Engineers). Ranging from level 0 which are our daily-...

Three Methods of Vehicle Lateral Control: Pure Pursuit, Stanley and MPC

Hi all, I have updated this blog in our website SHUFFLE. I also corrected some pictures which hope can bring you much precisely understanding of lateral control models. Moreover, I added some sample codes for these three methods so you can also try yourself in Carla simulator. Introductio...
