TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “Web 2.0” began to circulate.

TL;DR: Boss is an autonomous vehicle that uses on-board sensors to track other vehicles, detect static obstacles, and localize itself relative to a road model using a spiral system development process with a heavy emphasis on regular, regressive system testing.

TL;DR: A model predictive path-planning controller is introduced in this paper such that its objective includes potential functions along with the vehicle dynamics terms and is capable of treating different obstacles and road structures distinctly while planning the optimal path utilizing vehicle dynamics.

TL;DR: An autonomous driving research vehicle with minimal appearance modifications that is capable of a wide range of autonomous and intelligent behaviors, including smooth and comfortable trajectory generation and following; lane keeping and lane changing; intersection handling with or without V2I and V2V; and pedestrian, bicyclist, and workzone detection.

TL;DR: In this article, a vehicle includes a vehicle monitoring system for estimating vehicle motion states, a spatial monitoring system, an adaptive cruise control system for vehicle speed and acceleration control, a steering controller for vehicle lateral motion control, and a roadway estimator.
