Now that Google’s self-driving cars are on the long-path to mainstream availability, engineers have to cope with our robotic chauffeurs can deal with inferior human drivers. UK scientists have helped spark a new trend in research by exploring how automatic cars can avoid human-caused collisions. When braking isn’t an option to avoid a crash, Lecturer Matthew Best of Loughborough University has been running simulations of an action-movie-quality 70 MPH “high g” lane change.
