After this collision on the CTA blue line, employees are referring to the runaway as a
"Ghost Train" due to the fact that it made it past several safety devices, including an interlocker and an uphill climb to get over the Eisenhower express way before coming to rest against the outbound train from Chicaog at the Harlem Platform in Forest Park, IL
Qi Luo, IOE PhD Student and member of IOE Professor Romesh Saigal's research group, runs an experiment for a parking guidance testing system in a parking lot on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on September 25, 2015.
Saigal's research group has designed a parking guidance system that enables cars equipped with radar sensors to detect empty parking spaces. By doing so, the technology will aid in future driverless car technology by gaining further data that integrates into a driverless system.
While Luo or another driver drives around the parking lot under a timed route, software gathers and analyzes whether or not the system is able to detect an empty space and what factors aid or inhibit this system. Here Luo analyzes the data gathered from a test run.

Followed this Google car for a bit last night, and it was driving at 5 MPH over the limit. Even driverless cars ignore speed limit signs, it seems.
The Mcity Driverless Shuttle launched on June 4, 2018 at the North Campus Research Complex on the University of Michigan’s North Campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is a research project that will see how passengers interact with the shuttles in order to gauge consumer acceptance of the technology.

Hardly a day passes without some news about autonomous transportation. Apple, Uber, Waymo, Tesla, Ford, GM, Toyota – it seems as if every automotive and tech company has its horse in the race to bring driverless cars to the United States. And for good reason: driver error is a major cause of automotive deaths in America. But, safety is only one potential upside to autonomous vehicles. Traffic efficiencies, environmental benefits, and the potential for shorter commute times have all been touted as benefits.
On July 25 at the Brookings Institution hosted a full-day conference on how connecting vehicles to smart infrastructure will transform the future of transportation. Panelists at “Autonomous cars: Science, technology, and policy” discussed a specific type of autonomy: infrastructure-enabled autonomous vehicles. Engineers, researchers, economists, and government officials provided a realistic outlook on the current state of driverless cars.

Alexander Dobrindt, Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, Germany arrives in a BMW driverless car to the International Transport Forum’s 2015 Summit on “Transport, Trade and Tourism” in Leipzig, Germany on 27 May 2015.
During the 1960s the Transport and Road Research Laboratory in Crowthorne, Berkshire, conducted some experiments with "Driverless Cars". The agency had anticipated problems of limited roadways and conjection and sought to solve that by modifying the nature of a personal car with features similar tot he autopilot in an airplane. It was thought that affordable systems could be incorporated in existing cars and trucks, which could interact with magnetic cabling embedded in motorways so that a much higher density of cars could use the limited roadway syatem.
The Citoren DS19 was one of several cars used for this experimentation. Others included a Standard vanguard and an Austin Mini. The DS was chosen because of the high pressure hydraulic suspension, braking and steering system. The hydraulic steering int he DS could be actuated in small inrements and with precision. The braking system in the DS also requires very little actuation for considerable effort. The suspension system in a DS ensures a very secure road holding characteristic. In experiments the driverless DS could go around the test track at 80 mph without deviation of speed or direction in any weather conditions, and in a far more effective way than by human control.
Research continued in the '70s with cruise control devices activated by signals in the cabling beneath the tracks. Cost benefit analyses were made and it was found that the investement in automation on the British road system could be repaid by the year 2000 and would insure 50% increase in road use whilst reducing accidents by 40%. Funding for these experiments was withdrawn by the mid 1970s. Ironically current technological developments like GPS, mobile phone systems in cars, sensors, CCTV cameras and highway control centres echo a lot of the thinking behind the TRRL Citroen DS.

Whether we like it or not, in future drivers will be able to choose whether they wish to be driven or drive themselves. The BMW Vision M NEXT is a progressive hybrid sports car that makes a very clear and confident statement, in terms of both appearance and interaction. The Power PHEV drive system offers the choice between electric AWD and pure RWD, with either all-electric propulsion or the power of a turbocharged 4-cylinder. System output of 600 hp produces a top speed of 186 mph and enables the concept to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 3 seconds.
Facial recognition technology allows the car to unlock automatically as the driver approaches. Pressing the touch sensor on the gullwing doors prompts them to swing open, revealing a cabin that merges the driver and vehicle into one. Full specs = www.AutoIconic.com.

AUTONOMOUSLY ON THE ROAD
While the idea of fully driverless cars and taxi services still seems years away, the future of autonomous trucks on the road seems a lot more plausible. And it could not come at a more critical time, as the trucking industry faces driver shortages, long transit times, and increased demand for freight. We’ll hear from two companies well on the road to proving that trucking has become the fastest route to commercializing and scaling self-driving technology.

The driverless Fiesta had been parked on a hill, and clearly experienced a failure in the Handbrake Department, resulting in it ending up here! Fortunately the only casuasties were the wooden fence, and the Fiesta itself - given that it must be worth peanuts, I wouldn't be surprised if its next trip was to the scrappy....

Olli driverless bus low-poly 3d model ready for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), games and other real-time apps.
Say Hello! – The "Olli" is a self-driving, electric bus from Local Motors, which is currently on trial ahead of commercial launch in US cities including Las Vegas and Miami in 2017.
Self-driving
Olli can drive itself using overlapping sensors like radar, lidar and cameras to see further ahead and react more quickly than a human.
Olli can carry 12 passengers, and it is initially expected to provide public transport in closed network locations such as campuses and airports, before branching into new functions and locations.
This model is suitable for using in the 3D renderings of architectural visualizations, traffic simulation, games etc. where it doesn't need to use heavy high-polygonal models.
Exterior only!

Wonderful the things you find when you go looking ! An unobstructed view of the Cudgegong Rd viaduct from the north, looking towards Schofields Rd. (through the trees) There was a house here before, strangely they've left the small fence behind which can still be seen on Google maps streetview. (Look for 54 Terry Rd Rouse Hill)
This poor man being chased by a driverless fearsome looking red van allways amuses me so I snapped it to share with you all
One of the first new trains for the Sydney Metro West line.
A very long telephoto shot which turned out pretty good considering I was about 200 metres away. This one is a little more blurry.
Close inspection of this picture will reveal that the driver has left the bus and is nowhere to be seen, despite being a minute away from Guildford's bus station!
The building behind is the round building originally occupied by the Midland Bank and more recently by Fopp records.
The bus is an Alexander bodied Dart, new to Busways in January 1998.
