How Aircraft Are Informing the Work on Self-Driving Cars
UA researchers are using aviation’s high standards in an effort to increase our confidence in the safety of robotic cars.
Passengers climbing into self-driving cars — also known as highly automated vehicles, or HAVs — need to believe that their vehicles can avoid potential hazards. So Mathieu Joerger, a University of Arizona assistant professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering, and researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology are building on a knowledge of aircraft navigation standards to improve and guarantee HAV safety.
