Improved self-driving automobiles and other related and ongoing advances in automotive engineering and technologies, including sensors, data systems and monitoring technology, are promising to make new automobiles and new traffic monitoring systems safer and more efficient. Yezhou Yang, an associate professor for in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, points to examples and rising expectations of progress that should enable making automotive travel more manageable through better systems to control traffic flow, reduce risks, employ computer-vison technologies, promote public trust in autonomous vehicles and otherwise help ensure a more predictable travel environment and driving experience.
