INDIANAPOLIS—The car that will compete in the world’s first head-to-head high-speed autonomous auto race was unveiled here recently.

Better sensing technology, both on and off vehicle, is a must for safer, smoother, and more convenient systems for advanced driver assistance and greater levels of automation. Here is our curated roundup of the latest and greatest news from the CES 2020 show in Las Vegas.

The most important criterion for autonomous vehicles is safety. To ensure this, a completely safe perception of the surrounding environment must be the first step.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have become vital tools for the production of next-generation automated vehicles, particularly because of the need to recognize and react to the nearly infinite number of scenarios encountered on real-world roads.
