With cars doing a lot of the thinking for us these days, a pair of UWindsor researchers have launched a $319,000 study to assess how drivers use automation when behind the wheel.
Kinesiology professor Francesco Biondi and engineering professor Balakumar Balasingam are conducting a real-world study of advanced driver assistance systems. They’ve recruited a small army of research subjects to drive their lab’s recently purchased Tesla Model 3 on Hwy. 401 from Windsor to Chatham and back. The researchers will compare driver behaviour when the vehicle is in the manual driving mode and when it is in Tesla’s partially automated “autopilot” mode.

The University of Windsor announced a local partnership to advance agricultural research, development, and innovation in the Windsor-Essex region Thursday during the Canadian Greenhouse Conference (CGC).
The University of Windsor and Horteca — a joint venture of greenhouse operator JEM Farms and Ecoation, developers of pest management and yield forecasting platforms — will establish and operate a two-acre fully operational innovation greenhouse for research, proof-of-concept designs, and partnership opportunities with industry and community partners.
Under the banner “Agriculture at UWindsor” (AgUWin), the space will provide access to prime growing and technical environments for researchers and industry, with the ability to field test the deployment of upcoming technologies in a cost-effective, secure, and safe environment.
