It allows for more aggressive lane changes than the simple models do but relies only on immediate information about other vehicles’ directions and velocities to make decisions. The motivation is, What can we do with as little information as possible? How can we have an autonomous vehicle behave as a human driver might behave?

To improve the safety of autonomous systems, MIT engineers have developed a system that can sense tiny changes in shadows on the ground to determine if there’s a moving object coming around the corner. ShadowCam computes that information and classifies each image as containing a stationary object or a dynamic, moving one.
