‘Connected’ self-driving cars can speed up travel time
Self-driving cars that are “connected” can cut down on travel time, but when they don’t communicate, AVs can actually slow things down.

Self-driving cars fall short when it comes to understanding the social codes in traffic that tell human drivers to yield or continue driving.
An extra light on traffic signals could let self-driving cars control traffic flow and give a heads up to human drivers.

Our existing social contract around driving should apply to automated vehicles, say researchers, essentially solving the “trolley problem.”
A technique that allows autonomous cars to make relevant calculations more quickly showed it improves both traffic and safety in simulated situations.
Ordinary objects like bikes and cones on the side of the road can cause driverless cars to stop abruptly, report researchers.
What are the ramifications of the first US felony prosecution of a fatal crash involving a Tesla driver-assist system? A law professor weighs in.
