MIT Electric Vehicle Team builds a unique hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric motorcycle.

How do we design AI systems so that humans retain enough control? Years of work by Delft researchers and international colleagues have resulted in the first handbook on 'meaningful human control' for systems with autonomous properties.

Eight stakeholders from business, science and the public sector launched the first project for wireless charging of electric vehicles in Switzerland at the end of November 2023.

Randall Briggs '09, SM '18 created the GardenByte indoor herb garden to grow crops three times faster than they would do outdoors.

What happens when cities gear their road space primarily to the needs of cyclists and e-bikers? On a new popular-science website, researchers use examples from the city of Zurich to show what such an "E-Bike City" could one day look like. What would the streets look like if a city took half its traffic space and gave it to cycling and e-biking?

University of Michigan, May Mobility and city of Detroit look to boost public trust in self-driving vehicle technology Testing of a new automated shuttle is underway at the University of Michigan's M

UCL does not allow "throttle" electric bicycles, or any type of e-scooter or e-unicycle to be brought into UCL buildings.

The range of transport services for people with disabilities varies greatly in Switzerland and is difficult to access due to complex organization and high prices.

We provide transport companies with information about our mobility behavior when we use various modes of transportation. Researchers at the University of Basel and two technology and mobility consulting companies have jointly investigated what requirements could be put in place to ensure this mobility data is better utilized.

Solar Team Twente finished second at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge last night. After a three thousand kilometre race, the team arrived in Adelaide, South Australia, behind the competitors from Leuven.

Digital displays on the exteriors of self-driving cars could help cyclists stay safe on the roads of the future, researchers say. Digital displays on the exteriors of self-driving cars could help cyclists stay safe on the roads of the future, researchers say. Animated representations of virtual drivers, traffic-light-like projections on to the road or even emojis displayed on their surfaces could allow autonomous vehicles to share advance warning of their movements with bike riders.
