Like Freshly Forbidden Fruit: 2019 Ford Fiesta ST Performance EditionApril 11, 2019 at 3:10 PM To our collective horror, Ford decided not to sell the new Fiesta ST in North America. Instead, the automaker chose to cull its passenger car lineup during a period of declining demand and profitability in order to focus on higher-margin trucks, crossovers, and SUVs. No one in this office is particularly excited about the idea, but most […]

Like Wayve claims ‘world first’ in driving a car autonomously with only its AI and a SatNavApril 3, 2019 at 8:16 AM Projects like Google’s Waymo, Uber, Cruise and Aurora are developing autonomous vehicles by throwing engineers at the problem, basing most of their platforms on rule-based systems that try to pre-empt and deal with every edge case, whilst also peppering the cars with more sensors to capture more data. This can work in relatively controlled environments but has the drawback of not being able to flexibly adapt in real-time to fast-changing situations.
