Collision Avoidance: Smart Trucks on Rural Roads

摘要

With interest in collision avoidance technology for highway vehicles on the rise,this report presents an overview of current collision avoidance technology, the technical work required to bring these systems to a commercially viable product, and the societal issues that need addressing before wide-scale deployment can occur. Many questions remain about the benefits of deploying such systems, the costs, the effect of these systems on drivers, and the steps necessary to effectively regulate vehicles equipped with such systems.
