The MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future has released a new research brief examining the future of autonomous vehicles. The crucial role of public transit for connecting workers to workplaces will endure: the future of work depends in large part on how people get to work. The automated vehicle transition will not be jobless.

The collaboration began three years ago when Automobili Lamborghini joined the MIT-Italy Program, and took a further step forward in 2017 with the launch of two research projects, one with Professor Mircea Dinc? At MIT, the Dinc? The e-motor also supports low-speed maneuvers such as reversing and parking with electric power.

To further that vision, MIT researchers have given new capabilities to their fleet of robotic boats—which are being developed as part of an ongoing project—that lets them target and clasp onto each other, and keep trying if they fail. Moreover, the roboat notices if it has missed the connection, backs up, and tries again.

A model developed by Researchers at MIT and Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) have developed a model that uses satellite imagery to tag road features in digital maps to help improve GPS navigation. Each tile is a separate graph node, connected by lines along the road. The CNN takes as input raw satellite images of target roads.

Stanley Wittingham, along with the late John Goodenough , are credited as key figures in the invention of the lithium-ion battery in the early 1970s (the two of them shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2019 with Akira Yoshino). Wittingham had a few peeves to get off his chest and did so at a symposium this past April at Stanford.

MIT researchers have now developed a sub-terahertz-radiation receiving system that could help steer driverless cars when traditional methods fail. The researchers’ design, on the other hand, gives each site its own water pump, eliminating the need for connecting pipelines, and gives each sprinkler its own powerful water output.
