A part of the brain called the striatum helps rats make a mental map of their surroundings, research finds. The findings could improve autonomous robots.

It's easier to trust a self-driving car if we know what it's going to do ahead of time.

A new technique can give autonomous robots better information about what we want them to do, which could be key for self-driving cars.

There should be "much higher energy efficiency targets are required for self-driving cars," new research suggests.

A new system for self-driving cars learns from experience and remembers past drives to make the current ride as safe as possible.

Thinking that artificial intelligence is smarter than it really is can come with big downsides. Check out this video to hear more.

To get self-driving cars to learn how to predict how pedestrians will move, researchers are focusing on the way we walk.

"Designing autonomous systems that can handle those exceptional situations could take decades... we're going to need something to fill the gap."
