AI in connected cars can ease rush hour congestion, study shows

November 24, 2022 admin

US researchers said they have successfully used artificial intelligence (AI) in a group of wirelessly connected cars to help ease rush hour traffic on a major road.

During an experiment in Nashville, Tennessee, 100 test cars sent traffic information back and forth on the Interstate 24 route (I-24).

Their adaptive cruise control was modified to react to the overall flow of traffic using AI, in a bid to reduce so-called “phantom” traffic jams with no obvious cause.

Researchers are still examining the data, but say the experiment was a success. In addition to easing driver frustration, less stop-and-go driving means

New cars with aftermarket head units: Should I wait?

November 13, 2022 admin

With the ongoing chip shortage, many car manufacturers have had to adjust the features available in order to continue selling cars.

In some cases, manufacturers have swapped the native infotainment system with an aftermarket head unit. This is an infotainment system that has not been developed or designed by the carmaker.

Instead, the carmaker might buy a system from a brand such as Alpine (similar to the models available at stores such as Supercheap Auto or Repco), and then install them in the vehicle with minimal modification.

Sometimes, a manufacturer will import vehicles without any infotainment system, and then fit
