The Transparent Car

  Stella Vie Solar Car. Won the World Solar Challenge Cruise 2019 CD =0.1019 https://solarteameindhoven.nl/stella-vie/ CUER Resolution with CD OF 0.1019 but crashed when competing in 2013  https://www.flickr.com/photos/cambridgeuniversity-engineering/with/9546468490/           The Transparent Car  The transparent car can be built with more options than conventionnal cars. Shown here is the 5 m x 1.5 m, dimension, which should match the size of a mini SUV like Tesla Model Y. Despite its large size and lack off smothing of the sharp edges, its coefficient of drag matches that of the teardrop shape, larger by 0.017 only. These figures are not completely reliable. MicrCFD seems to be inconsistent with some results but they calibrate well with Model 3 and Lighyear 1 actual coefficient of drags. The results of shown for the 5 m x 1.5 m of the Transparent Car, is after smoothing one point only. Attempts to smooth 2 other sharp edges failed in reducing th...

 The coefficient of drag, CD, of the Transparent Car with a body height of 1.3 m , similar to Model 3, is higher than that of that with body height of 1.4 m, similar to Model Y, because of the more slope at the front of the car. That higher slope should also increase the safety of pedestrians who are hit by the car. However, hull capacity should be less. 2.5m by 1.3 m at highest, CD = 0.1460 2.5m by 1.3 m at highest 2.5m by 1.4 m at highest, CD = 1.4359 2.5m by 1.4 m at highest Lightyear One, CD=0.19 , real 0.20 Lightyear One

  This is what it's like to control an autonomous car from miles away + By Sasha Lekach 1 year, 4 months The exit ramp is a long, curving slope, and you have to make sure the 50-foot big rig you're driving carefully navigates the bend and doesn't fly out of control at a high speed. But the thing is, you're not actually there. You're in a room in Silicon Valley, watching the ramp unfold in front of you on several screens. That heavy load you're carrying is thousands of miles away in Florida.  Welcome to teleoperated driving, or remote-controlled driving with a human in front of a steering wheel, brake, and gas pedals, and a "windshield" plastered with monitors. It's a method that allows autonomous vehicles to operate without anyone inside. Instead, ther...

I believe this video or article could be the earliest. I remember vaguely that I had watched or read an article on this or similar article.

  Alex Davie s Transportation 03.26.2019 10:26 AM The War to Remotely Control Self-Driving Cars Heats Up Designated Driver is just the latest competitor to enter the market for the teleoperation tech that will make robo-cars work. Teleoperations—the ability to remotely drive or command a vehicle from afar—is a little discussed but vital element of putting self-driving tech into the world. A new company called Designated Driver thinks it can help. Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg/Getty Images Even in the middle of the day, the 50-mile trip from San Francisco to San Jose is a pain. Like a toddler, Bay Area driving toggles between slumber (rush-hour slogs) and frenzy (passing-happy speeding). It’s enough to make one eager for the day when robots rule the roads. And it’s more than enough to make me envy Evan Livingston, who doesn’t have to show up in person for this meeting, held in a Lincoln MKZ sedan roaming downtown San Jose. No, Livingston is sitting comfortably in his offic...
