Driverless cars on smart streets powered by the sun, BIG dreams big!

We all see dreams of a greener future, a world that has left its carbon soaked past far behind, instead using cleaner and greener fuels. BIG’s entry in the Audi Urban Future Initiative, (Driver)Less is More, envisions a world with compact electric cars moving around on smart streets. BIG has been dreaming big indeed and brought forward the idea of computer-controlled cars, or driverless cars, which communicate with each other to efficiently do away with traffic jams and road accidents. Using sensor readings and swarm theory-based systems, these cars will gain information from smart streets powered by solar energy and integrating sensor tiles!

This might seem like a far-fetched dream at the moment, though the idea conceived by BIG could probably turn into a reality, making urban transport cleaner, efficient and safe.
