Focusing on tricky situations could accelerate testing of self-driving cars

Self-driving cars are already on the road in various trials, but just when they arrive in showrooms depends on how soon manufacturers can prove their vehicles’ ability to handle tricky presented on the road. Currently that involves racking up lots of test miles, which takes time, but a team from the University of Michigan (UM) has developed a new approach it believes can significantly accelerate the testing self-driving cars.
