Uniting diverse research areas to drive autonomous cars

(Worcester Polytechnic Institute) Two engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) are combining their work in decision making for self-driving cars and wireless communications to find the key to developing self-driving cars that can operate safely and efficiently, even in complex city environments. With a three-year, $425,000 award from the National Science Foundation, they seek to create a network that will enable these vehicles to share information about everything from traffic flow to road conditions and accidents.
