A biblical plague insect could help create the future of self-driving cars – Inverse
Engineers have turned to locusts to design next-generation collision avoidance systems for self-driving cars.
Swarms of locusts are not often associated with good omens
, but when it comes to designing better vision for sophisticated computers like those inside self-driving cars, scientists say there’s an important lesson to be learned.
These insects can move together in massive swarms of millions of individuals without so much as a fender bender, thanks to a specialized neuron in their brains called the Lobula Giant Movement Detector (LGMD). By designing a small, energy-efficient device that mimics t…
