Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion, or FCAAP, are helping to solve a safety challenge in military aviation: the extreme noise generated by supersonic jets during takeoff and landing. The research, published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, demonstrates a new model... Read more

Driven by AI, the advent of autonomous mobility has accelerated in recent years. It has advantages that go beyond the asphalt. One of the first test drives of an autonomous vehicle in a public area took place on an EPFL campus in the early 2010s. That's when a self-driving shuttle... Read more

Putting more electric cars on the road doesn't just benefit those with enough money to buy the often-pricey vehicles, it also pushes down prices at the gas pump while strengthening U.S. energy security, according to new research from Georgia Tech's Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy....

Autonomous vehicles (AVs), which already operate on the roads of several major U.S. cities and in countries worldwide, are expected to play a large role in shaping the future of cities. In a new study, researchers have investigated how AVs may change travel patterns during morning commutes and affect parking... Read more

Scientists at the University of Sharjah have developed a new machine learning model capable of predicting whether a driver is likely to be involved in an accident before getting behind the wheel. Road accidents are frequently linked to human error, yet traditional driver screening methods, particularly in the taxi and... Read more

Electric vehicles (EVs) can effectively serve as mobile batteries that provide energy to the power grid when not being driven, improving the reliability of the grid, serving as a source of backup power and potentially reducing energy and EV ownership costs. So why have so few places adopted the vehicle-to-grid... Read more

A recent breakthrough in electrode technology addresses one of the key limitations of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries—namely, their relatively short driving distance. Researchers from UNIST, in collaboration with Sookmyung Women's University and Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), have developed an advanced cathode with significantly increased active material...

Federal auto regulators have escalated a probe of Tesla after several of its cars crashed while using its self-driving feature, just as CEO Elon Musk prepares to roll out a new model with no steering wheel or pedals.... Read more

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am is putting artificial intelligence agents to work in three-wheel vehicles tailored for modern urban life.... Read more

Researchers are developing satellite links that bring clear, real-time radio and data connections to flights over oceans, helping air traffic controllers keep routes safer and more efficient.... Read more

Soaring petrol prices are once again making many Australians think seriously about switching to an electric vehicle.... Read more

NASA's X-59 experimental aircraft is preparing for its second flight, a step that will set the pace for more flight testing in 2026. Over the coming months, NASA will take the quiet supersonic jet faster and higher, while validating safety and performance, a process known as envelope expansion.... Read more

Urban congestion is a big problem in our cities. It leads to commuter delays and economic inefficiency. More tragically, though, it leads to a million deaths annually worldwide. Research appearing in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems shows how artificial intelligence (AI) might be able to carry out real-time... Read more

Canada recently signed a new trade agreement with China, reducing tariffs on up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) each year. By 2030, half of these imported vehicles are anticipated to be "affordable EVs" costing less than $35,000.... Read more

As self-driving cars begin operating in cities, a question remains about how to make them work in rural areas with limited telecommunications infrastructure. New research from Washington State University suggests a potential answer, demonstrating that a small, affordable computer running a compressed large-language model may be an effective decision-maker for...
