Self-driving cars may exacerbate urban sprawl with commuters content to relax in their vehicles for a long commute.It depends on whether we share them among the city's commuters. Someday in the future, if you believe the hype, we'll all get around in self-driving cars. With little to no human input these cars are expected to plan their trajectory and navigate using advanced sensing technology. The cars will communicate with other self-driving cars and road network infrastructure, increasing reaction time, and…

Germany's Continental and California-based artificial intelligence chip firm Ambarella announced a partnership on Thursday to make software and hardware systems for autonomous driving. The two companies will focus on so-called Level 2 plus autonomous driving, which briefly allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel through features like assisted cruise control and lane centering.Read Also Ambarella develops a new category of semiconductors called system on a chip, or SoC, which combine multiple CPUs on one logic…
