  • Stained-glass mini isn't a pane to drive at all: British designer creates driverless vehicle which features a bed and was inspired by the Durham Cathedral<br />
<br />
A British designer has created a bedroom with a view - and when you wake up, you may well be at your chosen destination.<br />
<br />
Dominic Wilcox designed his vision for the future of transport - a stained glass covered driverless car which contains a bed - for an exhibition at the London Design Festival last week. <br />
<br />
Mr Wilcox said by 2059, he believed it would be 'statistically proven' that computer controlled driverless cars were safer than those driven by people. At which point, he said 'we will simply require a living space on wheels'.<br />
Mr Wilcox said his idea for the stained glass shell of the vehicle came out of his 'interest in taking what I admire from objects of the past and merging it with technology of the future, to create a new future'.<br />
<br />
And it followed a visit to the Durham Cathedral where he was 'struck by the wonderful stained glass'.<br />
<br />
Mr Wilcox said: 'I wanted to bring the visual experience I had in the cathedral into a new, contemporary, three dimensional form.'<br />
<br />
He said the hand cut glass on the car used the same technique used to make the famous Tiffany lamps.<br />
The glass shell is supported by a computer designed and manufactured frame which brings together 'bespoke craftsmanship with the technical precision of computer aided design'.<br />
<br />
Mr Wilcox said the car also took design inspiration from the original mini launched in 1959, using classic mini tyres, and the boot handle, which is now used as a handle to open the glass shell to get inside.<br />

  • Michigan Builds Fake Town to Test Driverless Cars<br />
<br />
the University of Michigan together with Michigan Department of Transportation opened a new test environment that would enable car manufacturers and technology suppliers to test driverless cars in a controlled environment. Called Mcity, this 32-acre simulation of urban and suburban environment is the first of its kind and includes a network of roads with intersections, traffic signs and signals, streetlights, fake building facades, sidewalks and obstacles such as construction barrier. Unlike public streets, many of Mcity's elements are movable that will allow engineers to rearrange the city’s layout to create complex intersections, blind corners and all kinds of conditions imaginable. In addition, Mcity will also include robotic pedestrians that would pop out in front of traffic unexpectedly to see how well autonomous vehicles react.<br />
<br />
“There are many challenges ahead as automated vehicles are increasingly deployed on real roadways,” said Peter Sweatman, director of the U-M Mobility Transformation Center. “Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely.”<br />
“We would never do any dangerous or risky tests on the open road, so this will be a good place to test some of the next technology,” says Hideki Hada, general manager for electronic systems at Toyota’s Technical Center in Ann Arbor. “A big challenge is intersections in the city, because there are vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles together with complex backgrounds with buildings and connections to infrastructure. That’s why this is really important.”<br />
The market for driverless technology is expected to grow to $42 billion by 2025, and self-driving cars may account for a quarter of global auto sales by 2035, according to Boston Consulting Group.<br />

  • Michigan Builds Fake Town to Test Driverless Cars<br />
<br />
the University of Michigan together with Michigan Department of Transportation opened a new test environment that would enable car manufacturers and technology suppliers to test driverless cars in a controlled environment. Called Mcity, this 32-acre simulation of urban and suburban environment is the first of its kind and includes a network of roads with intersections, traffic signs and signals, streetlights, fake building facades, sidewalks and obstacles such as construction barrier. Unlike public streets, many of Mcity's elements are movable that will allow engineers to rearrange the city’s layout to create complex intersections, blind corners and all kinds of conditions imaginable. In addition, Mcity will also include robotic pedestrians that would pop out in front of traffic unexpectedly to see how well autonomous vehicles react.<br />
<br />
“There are many challenges ahead as automated vehicles are increasingly deployed on real roadways,” said Peter Sweatman, director of the U-M Mobility Transformation Center. “Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely.”<br />
“We would never do any dangerous or risky tests on the open road, so this will be a good place to test some of the next technology,” says Hideki Hada, general manager for electronic systems at Toyota’s Technical Center in Ann Arbor. “A big challenge is intersections in the city, because there are vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles together with complex backgrounds with buildings and connections to infrastructure. That’s why this is really important.”<br />

  • World's first commercial driverless car goes on sale - but it only reaches a top speed of 12mph <br />
<br />
The race to get the first self-driving cars on the road has seen the likes of Tesla and Google battle it out to develop their most advanced vehicles.<br />
But a relatively small French company has now beaten the motor giants to it by unveiling the world’s first commercially available driverless car.<br />
The forty-strong company, Induct, announced this week that its zero-emissions vehicle is now available in the U.S.<br />
<br />
It might not have the sleek lines of a Tesla, or the stylish interior of a BMW, but the group’s Navia shuttle could help pave the way for more advanced autonomous vehicles.<br />
<br />
Launched at the International CES show in Las Vegas, it can carry up to eight passengers and costs around $250,000 (£152,000).<br />
The electric vehicle, which doesn't go faster than 12.5 mph, uses on-board lasers to detect obstacles in its path, rather than GPS.<br />
<br />
The company claims the car is different because it is ‘intelligent, self-sufficient and environmentally friendly’.<br />
For instance, users can summon Navia from their smartphones or call it up from their desktop. Once on board, passengers use a touchscreen to select their destination.<br />
It also doesn’t require special infrastructure such as rails so it can work on any kind of site.<br />
Rather than for regular road use, the car is expected to be used in areas such as airports, university campuses, stadiums and arenas.<br />
‘Imagine a city without noisy, polluting buses, replaced by environmentally-friendly, robotic shuttle buses that can be summoned by your mobile phone,’ said Pierre Lefevre, chief executive of Induct.<br />
‘Navia is completely self-driving, 100 per cent electric, emission-free, safe and simple to use. It is the ideal solution for taking pedestrians that “last mile”’.<br />
The car is currently being used in beta version at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland and the Atomic Energy Authority in Abingdon

<br />
Launched at the International CES show in Las Vegas, it can carry up to eight passengers and costs around $250,000 (£152,000).<br />
The electric vehicle, which doesn't go faster than 12.5 mph, uses on-board lasers to detect obstacles in its path, rather than GPS.<br />
<br />
The company claims the car is different because it is ‘intelligent, self-sufficient and environmentally friendly’.<br />
For instance, users can summon Navia from their smartphones or call it up from their desktop. Once on board, passengers use a touchscreen to select their destination.<br />
It also doesn’t require special infrastructure such as rails so it can work on any kind of site.<br />
Rather than for regular road use, the car is expected to be used in areas such as airports, university campuses, stadiums and arenas.<br />
‘Imagine a city without noisy, polluting buses, replaced by environmentally-friendly, robotic shuttle buses that can be summoned by your mobile phone,’ said Pierre Lefevre, chief executive of Induct.<br />
‘Navia is completely self-driving, 100 per cent electric, emission-free, safe and simple to use. It is the ideal solution for taking pedestrians that “last mile”’.<br />
The car is currently being used in beta version at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland and the Atomic Energy Authority in Abingdon
