Economic effect of implementing electric cars
… more expensive to purchase than traditional cars the average consumer must drive for years before truly receiving the benefits of low refueling costs. The relatively higher list prices (and the fact that all Icelandic cars are imported) indicate that EV implementation today would contribute …

Humanizing autonomy : social scientists' and engineers' futures for robotic cars
Highly automated cars -- unlike robots in factories -- must operate in existing social spaces, which are complex and hard to control. Unlike household robots, these systems are also fast and dangerous. The fundamental problem of getting robots to interact in the world will be getting them to do the …

Procedural synthetic data for self-driving cars using 3D graphics
In this thesis we present CoSy, a configurable system for procedurally generating synthetic data for self-driving vehicles. To address the problem of data hungry vision-based learning algorithms used in self-driving vehicles, we develop a system that generates synthetic images, including class …
