Cycab demonstrations
In 1997, a new vehicule called Cycab, designed specifically for car-free cities, has been presented to the public.
This vehicle is entirely under computer control and can be driven manually with a joystick, or can be driven
automatically under various modes.
As these vehicules are made to autonomously and safely run in an environment including cyclists
and pedestrians, a collision avoidance system is one of the first features they should be equipped with.
The probabilistic programming methods developped in the SHARP team permit to use biologically plausible
technics in order to define the collision avoidance system as a survival instinct. This survival instinct will be
followed prior to any other behaviour and will grant safety for all.
