Superlarge diversified global manufacturer Dover Corporation and Burke Porter Group, a supplier of testing and assembly systems, are partnering to develop “Mosaic”, which they say is the “first-ever” automated calibration system for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

ADAS is the umbrella term referring a number of technologies which give cars and other vehicles certain features that make them more automated or autonomous. Examples include collision avoidance, autonomous braking in emergencies, self-parking, and cruise control.

The specific Dover business unit involved in the partnership is Chief Collision Technology, formerly known as Chief Automotive Technology and part of VSG and Dover. [Read more…] about Dover and Burke Porter partner to develop ‘first-ever’ automated ADAS calibration system

Autonomous vehicles networking infrastructure will require new skills and training

Partially automated cars provide enough benefits to warrant widespread adoption of current safety technologies, say boffins

Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering researchers have concluded that the public could derive economic and social benefits today if safety-oriented, partially automated vehicle technologies were deployed in all cars.

The researchers examined forward collision warning, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring systems.

These technologies can include partially autonomous braking or controls to help vehicles avoid crashes. [Read more…] about Carnegie Mellon says autonomous car tech could bring social and economic benefits
