To improve the safety of autonomous systems, MIT engineers have developed a system that can sense tiny changes in shadows on the ground to determine if there’s a moving object coming around the corner. It may be a shadow of some person running from behind the corner or a parked car, so the autonomous car can slow down or stop completely.
