Communicative vehicles to meet up for cooperative driving competition
One of the GCDC participants will be the AUTOTOPIA team, from Spain's Consejo Superior de Investigacions Cientificas
Article Summary
When it comes to developing new technologies, running a competition is always a good way of helping to speed progress. Not only do such events give researchers more of an incentive to develop their ideas to the fullest, but they also give them a chance to see and be inspired by what other people in their field have been working on. While last year’s Automotive X-PRIZE helped usher in utra-efficient yet practical automobiles, hopefully this weekend’s Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge will do the same for cars utilizing cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC).
