Helping autonomous vehicles navigate tricky highway merges

If autonomous vehicles are ever going to achieve widespread adoption, we need to know they are capable of navigating complex traffic situations, such as merging into heavy traffic when lanes disappear on a highway. To that end, researchers have developed a technique that allows autonomous vehicle software to make the relevant calculations more quickly -- improving both traffic and safety in simulated autonomous vehicle systems.
