It’s not just a computer that makes a vehicle autonomous. Tom Shi,<\/strong> assistant professor, civil & environmental engineering, told TJM4 reporter Charles Benson about the many devices involved in collecting the right information for AI decision making on a driverless vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab members\u00a0Muhammad Fahad\u00a0and Narayan Rai were also interviewed for the segment, along with U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shi\u2019s lab has a $1.4 million slice of a larger grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to work on overcoming obstacles of putting AVs into use in rural areas where transportation options are limited. As researchers find solutions and create devices during this grant period, Shi said, those discoveries will contribute to making AVs viable everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
