This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program award (CFDA 47.070) of $289,374 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, supports a 3-year collaborative research project to advance autonomous driving technology. The project aims to develop new network threading techniques, deadline-aware inference frameworks, and a Connected Autonomous Driving as a Service (CADAAS) paradigm that enables adaptive vehicle-edge collaboration to obtain the latest autonomous driving software. The research will be evaluated under real-world computing and networking scenarios using the university's Husker-NET and D-STAR testbeds. This transformative project seeks to democratize autonomous driving capabilities by seamlessly integrating information from nearby vehicles and roadside infrastructure to substantially improve driving performance and safety.
