Autonomous vehicle technology development
Overview
The autonomous vehicle sector is advancing through diverse pilot programs, commercial scaling, and technological research.
In Milan, a three-year agreement with Niulinx introduces a ‘Robo-Sharing’ model where vehicles navigate autonomously at low speeds to reach users before handing over control for the trip. Meanwhile, Waymo has expanded its service to 11 U.S. cities and surpassed 220 million autonomous miles, though the industry faces new logistical challenges regarding fleet maintenance and management.
Research is also addressing the technical requirements of autonomy. In Mexico, a partnership between Clarios, Bloom Drive Intelligence, and Tecnológico de Monterrey is focusing on the energy demands of electric, SAE Level 4 autonomous vehicles. Additionally, researchers at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche have developed an artificial intelligence model using causal learning to help vehicles better perceive and prioritize the relevance of surrounding objects in real-time.
