Driverless cars can work together to keep traffic moving, research finds
A fleet of driverless cars working together to keep traffic moving smoothly could improve overall vehicle flow by at least a third, a study using scale models has shown. A team of researchers at Cambridge University programmed 16 miniature robotic cars to drive around a two-lane track and observed how the traffic flow changed when…
