Highway US-33 – Honda and Cassandras Team Up
Self-driving smart cars used to be something that was seen in the movies; an idea that was too far away to even consider a possible reality. Yet, today we are closer to realizing this dream than ever. Most smart cars on the market come equipped with detectors to alert the driver another vehicle is in […]
The Depth of Depth Measurement
With the ever-increasing development of self-driving cars, consumers should be cautious about what technology is providing the safest and best product. One feature necessary for determining the effectiveness of these devices is depth measurement. If a car is self-driving, it should always have an accurate (and fast) analysis of its surroundings in real time. After […]
