MIT researchers have developed an algorithm that can "detect" drivers who're likely to drive straight across a red light - before they do so. The monitor "watches" deceleration and distance from a light - and "guesses" which cars are likely to break the Highway Code. Crucially, the software can provide two seconds' warning if someone else is about to shoot across a crossroads - enough time for other drivers to hit the brakes. Jonathan How, the Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT, says "smart" cars of the future may use the system to help drivers anticipate and avoid potential accidents. |
