NYU researchers build a shared brain for self-driving cars

Self-driving cars had a big problem—they couldn’t talk to each other properly. They could only share information when they met on the road, like two strangers giving each other travel tips.

This meant if a car drove only in Mumbai, it wouldn’t know anything about the roads in Delhi. Also, most self-driving cars depend on big central servers, which can be slow and unsafe.

To fix this, researchers at NYU Tandon created a smart system called Cached-DFL. This system helps cars share road and traffic updates without meeting directly.

Even if two cars never cross paths, they can still learn from each other through other vehicles.

How It Works:

  • Cars within 100 meters share updates using fast wireless signals.

  • Each car stores up to 10 updates and refreshes its knowledge every 2 minutes.

  • Old information is deleted automatically to keep things fresh.

  • This way, cars can keep learning from a large network, even from far away.

Why It’s Important

This new system helps self-driving cars learn faster and drive better while keeping information safe and private. It doesn’t need slow central servers, making it faster and more efficient.

This technology can make future roads smarter and safer. 🚗💡
