This article talks about how researchers from the Computer Science Department of Oxford developed an add-on solution for the AV software track system, where the AI can successfully navigate through certain weather conditions safely. Their main priority was to focus on numerous core functionalities of autonomous vehicles so that they could perform every road task. Motion planning, prediction, and collision avoidance are just some of the things that AI vehicles bring to the new modern world of transportation. Also, the team’s goal is to enable this invention to drive safely in certain weather conditions. Making the autonomous vehicle fully functional, solving all obstacles present on public roads.

Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3544548.3581564 (Retrieved 20 Sept. 2023)
This Journal entry talks about the process of how AI can be approved and implemented into vehicles by experienced and recruited drivers and put under certain risky situations where the drivers themselves feel comfortable with the AV’s software. These drivers would usually be in “non-perfect” AV vehicles, filling in the gap for any misunderstanding. Also, 26 interviews were conducted with these drivers to give a more accurate broad demographic representation of everyday drivers. Giving the researchers an understandable reason to take results for the interaction between the machine and driver. These experiments would then go on to contribute to the first empirical evidence of the first lived experiences of safety drivers and AI autonomous vehicles.

This is a news article about how Cade Metz rode in the backseat of an AI-autonomous vehicle with no driver. It talks about how the emotional rollercoaster of a human being goes through when on the road with no physical driver. It describes what it's like from his point of view when sitting in the backseat of an AI vehicle. He then goes on about how there weren’t any real issues with the car ride experience. And then talks about how other vehicles interact with the car as they saw in the driver’s seat that no living thing was operating the vehicle.

Regenerative braking control strategy based on AI algorithm to improve driving comfort of autonomous vehicles. Applied Sciences, 13(2), 946. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/13/2/946(Retrieved 20 Sept. 2023)
This article talks about how regenerative braking powered by AI can leave drivers in a more comfortable situation when put in critical conditions with one or more vehicles, potentially saving lives. An autonomous vehicle driving comfort experience mainly relies on vehicle control which is made up of a process called “regenerative braking”. Unlike manual braking which has its human decision-making flaws implemented into the car, regenerative braking allows AI to make perfect predictions before collisions even occur. This developed algorithm was later verified by car simulations from “MATLAB/Simulink” which compared its new innovative braking system to manual processes. Also, it ensures driving comfort for passengers by limiting abrupt stops from the vehicle on public transportation roads.

This book aims to teach about the core concepts that make self-driving vehicles possible and not a fantasy. Its target audience is aimed at those with an interest in providing technical insights on autonomous vehicles. Serving as a good starting point for software developers in the field of AI and producing fully automated cars. It has been written by an active practitioner with experience in the field of “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems” and autonomous driving. It even covers the state-of-the-art theoretical fundamentals of multisensory data fusion and other SDV algorithms.

This TED talk from Patrick Lin discusses “The ethical dilemma of self-driving cars” to the audience. He starts by presenting a hypothetical scenario where an AI vehicle is forced to decide to impact other vehicles by avoiding a crash up ahead. Resulting in an ethical decision of who takes responsibility for the damage from this unfortunate event. Should it be the passenger who owns the AI autonomous vehicle the manufacturer who produced the body of the car, and finally the software engineer who wrote the code for the AI? He then concludes his speech by talking about the idea of avoiding crashes such as this, but ultimately understanding that impacts on public roads are inevitable and should be the main priority to avoid when developing AI self-driven vehicles.
