Experts on Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles, also known as self-driving cars, are vehicles that are capable of sensing their environment and navigating without human input. They use a combination of technologies such as sensors, cameras, lidar, radar, and machine learning algorithms to understand their surroundings and make decisions. WPI experts on autonomous vehicles are available to discuss how they can improve safety, increase efficiency, and reduce the need for human drivers, and can speak to the many technical challenges that need to be overcome before fully autonomous vehicles can be widely adopted, including improvements in sensor technology, navigation in challenging environments, and safety and liability concerns.
