The team from Chris Gerdes’ Dynamic Design Lab are training MARTY, an all-electric, autonomous DeLorean, to use all the friction between the tire and the road to get the vehicle out of harm’s way to handle emergency maneuvers or slippery road surfaces. The MARTYkhana video shows the autonomous...
Chris Gerdes, one of the researchers featured in this PBS episode working on the next generation of self-driving automobiles, discusses some of the technological advancements of the car tracking the 9,000-year history of the automobile from origins in dog-sleds to the Model T.
Researchers from Chris Gerdes' Dynamic Design Lab have developed a neural network that integrates past driving experiences from driving trials from dry roads and under snowy conditions. The neural network system outperformed the physics-based system in both high-friction and low-friction scenarios...
