17+ hour, 11+ min ago (642+ words) What makes tires tough enough to carry a jet? Researchers finally have a clear answer'and it could improve what you drive on University of South Florida engineering Professor David Simmons. "How is it that we've been using this for 80, 90, 100 years…...
Latency-aware trajectory prediction
21+ hour, 5+ min ago (487+ words) Eurek Alert! Comparison between prior methods and our proposed scheme. Existing approaches, illustrated in (a), predict trajectories under the idealized assumption of zero latency. In practice, however, the forecasting module in autonomous driving systems inevitably experiences delays, rendering predictions within this…...
How can autonomous vehicles learn new traffic scenarios without forgetting old ones?
21+ hour, 5+ min ago (304+ words) Existing continual learning methods mainly focus on preserving average performance at the dataset level, but they often overlook the forgetting of individual safety-critical cases," says Huiqian Li, the first author of the study. In autonomous driving, forgetting even a small…...
Ammonia-fueled engines achieve high substitution rate with pilot-ignition reactivity-stratification combustion
1+ day, 18+ hour ago (726+ words) Scientists have developed a new combustion strategy for ammonia-fueled engines, hitting a 99. 1% ammonia energy substitution rate with just tiny diesel pilot ignition. This cuts CO" emissions to 1. 3% of diesel levels at the same load, boosts thermal efficiency over 46% and slashes…...
