Intelligent, decent and charming, Mr Wagoner was revered at GM right up to the day in March last year when the head of President Obama's car task-force told him that his time was up.
Two hours later, police from the multi-jurisdictional stolen car task force (ACTION) caught up with Jackson — who was on parole for armed robbery conspiracy charges and fleeing police in 2004 — in a driveway.
In the Broken Car Task, children were led to believe they had broken the experimenter's toy car (i.e., the wheels would come off when children played with it).
The cognitive model helps to explain gaze allocation strategies for performing in-car tasks while driving, and thus helps to quantify the effects of task duration and visual item spacing on safety-critical in-car glance durations.
In particular, the results suggest that designers should try to minimize total task durations and the durations of all visual encoding steps required for an in-car task, as well as minimize the distance between visual display elements that are encoded one after the other.
Google updates the world monthly on the progress of its self-driving car project, and this month's update includes the usual stats, like over 2,230,175 miles driven in autonomous mode, as well as an explainer on how the cars handle a tricky task: multi-point turning.
This study compared the effect of speech-based versus handheld text entries on simulated driving performance by asking participants to perform a car following task while controlling the duration of a secondary text-entry task.
A high fidelity, fixed-base driving simulator was used to test 48 participants on a car following task.
Extensive experiments are conducted on car detection task in realistic environments and well recognized public pedestrian detection dataset (INRIA dataset).
In a second experiment the light change task was changed to a singleton search (detect the onset of a yellow light) and the workload of the car following task was systematically varied.
This paper presents a simple robot localization technique using the wireless visual servoing technique involved in an autonomous ground vehicle ODIS (omnidirectional inspection system) for under-car inspection tasks in standard parking lot environment.
