Blind sport warning (BSW) systems use radars or cameras to monitor the location of traffic or obstacles in a vehicle's blind spot zones and provide warnings to the driver about these obstacles during a lane change maneuver (Jermakian 2011; Kessler et al. 2012).
It works on a similar idea as Freegate using a network of computers to reroute traffic around obstacles thrown up by government censors.
AirMap analyzes data on the laws, traffic and obstacles in the sky around the world, and can help drones safely navigate the skies over any country, according to co-founder and CEO Ben Marcus.
Additionally, the connectivity of IGRP is calculated under the assumption that all vehicles on the road follow a Poisson distribution which seems unrealistic in urban VANETs especially when traffic lights, obstacles, and roundabouts are existing [9].
It can also automatically drive at posted speed limits, and watch out for pedestrians, cross traffic and obstacles near the vehicle.
Change lanes and back up only after checking your blind spot by looking over your shoulder for traffic or obstacles.
In fact, many parameters have to be considered by VANET simulation, such as a dynamic topology, omnipresent obstacles, traffic flow, different mobility models, traffic lights, changing vehicular speeds, etc. Unsurprisingly, the way how some events are modeled in a simulation might bias the performance measures of vehicular communications.
Always keep your head up and look down the road for any potential obstacles, traffic or changes in terrain.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class features what the German maker describes as a "sensor fusion", bringing together various systems designed to detect obstacles, traffic and even read road signs.
Yet the event also demonstrated that the state of the art in robotics has reached the point where the most sophisticated autonomous vehicles can now drive comfortably and safely on a city course while surrounded by traffic and other obstacles.
