Credit: UVA Center for Applied Biomechanics Cars built in the last decade have been shown to be safer than older models, including in the most common types of crashes - frontal collisions. However, a new study conducted by researchers at…

How do we transform our energy system sustainably? If we want to get rid of fossil fuels nationwide, there is a lot to do. It will be a generation project, that much is clear. Empa researchers Martin Rüdisüli, Sinan Teske and Urs Elber…

Research finds that 'peeking round' corners provides answers Passenger and pedestrian confidence and acceptance will be key to the future and development of autonomous vehicles so researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick have…

Successful automatic landing with vision assisted navigation Automatic landings have long been standard procedure for commercial aircraft. While major airports have the infrastructure necessary to ensure the safe navigation of the…

With more of us living longer, driving is becoming increasingly important in later life, helping us to stay independent, socially connected and mobile. But driving is also one of the biggest challenges facing older people. Age-related…
