Some examples of recent technical developments
in robotics technologies applied to ITSfor
quality of life, efficiency, mobility, safety,
challenge.

• The DARPA Grand Challenge
• The first race ever that saw 5 autonomous
  vehicles reach the finish line after 130 miles
  of desert, rough terrain, and extreme
  conditions.
• The first time that unmanned vehicles succeed
  in this extremely complex task.

Cybercars a new approach for sustainable
mobility Emerging as an alternative to the
private passenger car, cybercars try to
offer the same flexibility and much less
nuisances based on fully automated electrical
vehicles with on-demand and door-to-door
capability. Fleets of such vehicles are being
deployed in several worldwide cities and are
already operational in specific environments
such as shuttle services for
passenger transportation.
Major breakthrough in automobile Combination of
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane
