Renault revealed its new driverless concept vehicle called the EZ-GO at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. EZ-GO is a Level 4 driverless vehicle, so it can change lanes, turn at an intersection, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of it. Users will be able to access the EZ-GO from an app or from fixed locations and will enter through a hatch which opens at the front of the vehicle, which also make the auto wheelchair accessible. The EZ-GO can accomodate up to 6 people at a time and features a U-shaped seating arrangement, making the ride a social experience.
Have you ever heard of self-driving cars? If you have, you might think that they are still far off into the future. Well, think again. This is the PostBus self-driving shuttle, called the Arma, and it was ferrying people to and fro at the CeBIT technology fair in Hannover. The autonomous shuttles use three LIDAR sensors in the front and three in the back to navigate through the streets. The PostBus Arma shuttles, which are a joint project by Swiss company PostAuto and French manufacturer Nayra, still do have driver to make sure nothing goes haywire though, but perhaps not for long. This isn't the first time that the PostBus Arma shuttle has carried people to and fro - the self-driving mini bus is already in operation in the Swiss town of Sion. With a population of 33,000 people, Sion has been chosen as a pilot for mass introduction of self driving tech to Switzerland.
Electric car lovers and green activists need to take note of the Rinspeed Oasis, a self-driving concept car designed by German supplier and drive engineering company ZF and showcased at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Tuesday. The Rinspeed Oasis comes with a garden integrated under the bonnet of the vehicle, making it the 'greenest' concept we've ever seen. The project is the result of a collaboration between ZF, which supplied the car's technological components, and the Swiss automotive industry think tank Rinspeed, which owns the idea around the Rinspeed Oasis. The concept car is not actually planned for manufacture, but was instead designed to inspire the auto industry.
This is what the future of travel by car might look like. Toyota unveiled their Concept I self-driving car featuring an artificial intelligence assistant and other technology that made jaws drop at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last Friday. The car features an artificially intelligent assistant called 'Yui' and a biometrics detector of users' faces in order to read human emotions and offer a better emotional experience while using the vehicle. Imagine being able to read a book or spend time answering emails on your entire morning commute to work or simply entering a vacation destination into your navigation and sleep the entire way there. Toyota's Concept I is one small step in that direction.
Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn unveiled details of the latest model of the second-generation Nissan Leaf at the Consumer Electronics Show 2017 and introduced the company's new system for handling self-driving cars, dubbed Seamless Autonomous Mobility, or SAM. Developed with NASA tech, SAM is set to connect the autonomous vehicle with human support at a control centre in a bid to deal with unexpected situations that the car's internal system cannot handle alone.
In a collaboration with researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute) is currently developing autonomous boats
