Computational model for continuous flow of autonomous vehicles at road intersections - PubMed

The increasing advances in technologies used in autonomous vehicles have improved the reliability of their controls, making them more likely to be accepted by drivers and thus more common on the streets.

Bit of a long shot, but could my good mastodon follower folk give me some boosts?

I'm starting work on a documentary podcast series about the future of space; renewable/sustainable technologies, commercialism in the sector and the public's perception of it all.

I'm hoping to connect with people who know space to complement my client's contacts, so any signal boosting would be appreciated!

Choices. We make choices.
