The 1920s was a golden age for the automobile in America. Millions of people jumped behind the wheel for the first time and transformed mobility, not to mention just about every facet of life. History may repeat itself during the 2020s. But, this time around, cars will be driving themselves.
Autonomous vehicles are expected to be a common sight on highways by the end of this decade. Some of the research being done to make that dream a reality is currently taking place at Florida Polytechnic University, which is home to the Advanced Mobility Institute (AMI).
