As self-driving cars move closer to everyday reality, one big question remains: Will people actually trust them?... Read more

The recent Stonehaven school bus rollover in Victoria, in which 12-year-old Milla Killeen was killed and many others were injured, reminds us that bus crashes, though uncommon, can have devastating consequences.... Read more

Today's electric vehicle boom is tomorrow's mountain of electronic waste. And while myriad efforts are underway to improve battery recycling, many EV batteries still end up in landfills.... Read more

With ever more electric vehicles on the road, regulators and automakers are considering what can be done with the millions of batteries that power EVs after they're spent. Even when their useful life is over, EV batteries contain valuable lithium that could theoretically be recycled and used in new batteries,... Read more

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have advanced the use of DuAlumin-3D, an innovative aluminum alloy, in high-temperature automotive components, significantly expanding the possibilities of additive manufacturing.... Read more

NEC Corporation has developed an optical fiber sensing technology to monitor road conditions and accurately predict sudden traffic congestion in real time. By collecting data from existing optical fiber communications cables and analyzing real-time traffic flow data using a proprietary AI model, the researchers have reduced prediction errors by 80%...

A future with advanced air mobility aircraft populating the skies will require the U.S. to implement enhanced preflight planning that can mitigate potential risks well before takeoff—and NASA is working to develop the tools to make that happen.... Read more

Choosing a more electrified vehicle will reduce drivers' greenhouse gas emissions, regardless of where they live in the contiguous United States, according to a new study from the University of Michigan.... Read more

For researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a new avenue for reducing carbon emissions can be found on the side. A side of salad dressing, that is.... Read more

Batteries in electric vehicles wear out too quickly and this is slowing down the electrification of the transport sector. Researchers at Uppsala University have now developed an AI model that can provide a much more accurate picture of battery aging. The model could lead to longer life and enhanced safety... Read more

Dr. Abolfazl Karimpour, Assistant Professor of Transportation Engineering at SUNY Polytechnic Institute and Director of the Transportation AI Research Lab (TRAIL), is lead author of a new study that advances understanding of e-scooter mobility in urban environments.... Read more

Car manufacturers and others who need light, safe, powerful batteries are eager to adopt lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Not only do they store more energy, and are safer and faster to charge than today's lithium-ion batteries—they're cheaper to make, too.... Read more

Federal auto safety regulators are investigating why Tesla has repeatedly broken rules requiring it to quickly tell them about crashes involving its self-driving technology, a potentially significant development given the company's plans to put hundreds of thousands of driverless cars on U.S. roads over the next year....
