 · Moreover, high-precision road markings and landmark detection results provided by MapNet can be used as inputs into mapping and localization functions of autonomous vehicles. The ability to detect vertical landmarks, such as poles, is also particularly beneficial to achieving accurate longitudinal localization results.

Infrastructure Star Ratings for the Self-Driving Car will measure how well road infrastructure design supports the driver assistance technologies of the future and increasing levels of autonomous vehicles. Serious crashes on inter-urban roads may be slashed by a quarter over the next 30-40 years with the introduction of automated vehicles (AVs).

 · The Road Safety Markings Association (RSMA) has today welcomed the Department for Transport (DfT) announcement to amend the Highway Code to "ensure the first self-driving vehicles are introduced safely. on UK roads". However, it warns that Government's desire for the UK to become a world-leader in the. use of autonomous …

 · Fully autonomous cars require a wide range of sensors that can detect objects with accuracy, while quickly determining their distance and speed in every possible condition to ensure safety at all times. However, factors like bad weather, dense traffic, weathered road signs or damaged markings can significantly impact the capabilities of sensors.

Safe AV use will require that road infrastructure features are reliably detectable and that AV manoeuvres are accurately anticipated by other road-users. New risks are likely to arise where road maintenance is poor (e.g. poor line markings missed by AV detection technology leading to crashes), in autonomous perception of traffic flow (e.g. an ...
