When we think of getting on the road in our cars, our first thoughts may not be that fellow drivers are particularly safe or careful — but human drivers are…

AbstractWith the rapid development of autonomous driving technology and the sharing economy, future transport systems may be a mixed traffic environment of conventional travel modes and autonomous vehicles. This study…

Cathy Wu is the Gilbert W. Winslow Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a member of the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. As an undergraduate, Wu…

There’s a mesmerizing video animation on YouTube of simulated, self-driving traffic streaming through a six-lane, four-way intersection. Dozens of cars flow through the streets, pausing, turning, slowing, and speeding up…

In our daily lives, we all make choices about how we travel and what type of vehicle we own or use. We consider these choices within the constraints of our…

An autonomous robotic system invented by researchers at MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) efficiently sniffs out the most scientifically interesting — but hard-to-find — sampling spots in vast,…
