The greatest nightmare of living in the countryside and nurturing your orchard? Starlings eating ripe cherries in just a few days. However, this is only one of the losses that birds are causing in agriculture, so scientists are considering the use of autonomous drones to protect crops from birds. Drones will be used to protect…
Already this week begins two-week tests of passenger buses without passengers, which are expected to lead to universal public transport in the UK. On their basis, a new public pilot service will begin later this year, transporting passengers over a 22.5-kilometer route. Autonomous passenger bus tests are about to start soon, with the aim of…
The company responsible for, among others GeForce graphics cards announced a target for its DeepMap-based Drive Map platform for autonomous cars. This builds on the achievements of companies so far and aims to accelerate the introduction of autonomous technologies to the roads. NVIDIA wants to accelerate the introduction of autonomous cars to the road with…
Shield AI is a small startup based in San Diego that received a contract from the US Air Force at the end of January as part of the Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) program. Ultimately, its value may reach as much as USD 60 million for the implementation of a series of projects using the proprietary…
Matt Soule, John Howard, and Ben Stabler had worked as engineers at SpaceX for a long time, but decided to quit “under Elon Musk” and set up their own company, Parallel Systems. It recently raised $ 49.55 million to turn its autonomous and energy-efficient trains into something real. Parallel Systems is developing its unique autonomous…
We conquer Mars, we want to go back to the Moon, and we haven’t even explored every corner of the Earth. This, however, changes from year to year with new discoveries in the oceans and seas, but the team of Team Polar students wants to add their three cents to this better understanding of the…
Parking lots at airports are one of the worst places for both the forgetful who will not be able to find their car after returning, and those who simply hate looking for a place for themselves in narrow passages. Of course, a lot depends on the airport here, but such an autonomous robot as Stan…
Many manufacturers wonder how to prevent other road users from being afraid of autonomous vehicles. There are already ideas for intelligent lighting that make it clear to others that they have been noticed, and Jaguar Land Rover in turn has the idea of signaling the next movements of autonomous vehicles. The technology was recently tested…
Every month my concerns about autonomous cars are growing because in the mainstream you hear more about the tragic failures, not the successes they are having. It is enough for you to ask yourself a simple question – was the latest news in this area positive, or was it focused on the problems that this…
Autonomous helicopters are still a distant vision. However, thanks to SkyRyse, it has come much closer. The company has developed flight assist technology that can come in handy in emergency situations. SkyRyse has just secured $ 25 million to develop the Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS). This system is designed to reduce human error and…
