An international team of researchers (UK, Germany, China, Japan, Malaysia, South America) is working on a EU sponsored project called ULTRACEPT (Ultra-layered perception) with brain-inspired information processing for vehicle collision avoidance. It was inspired by the rapid reactions of insects, incorporating near-range collision detection technology, long-range hazard perception, and thermal-based collision detection tools. This will ensure that it works day and night and can quickly adapt to unexpected hazards and different conditions – for example sudden weather changes or driving in and out of tunnels… read more.
