At the MIT Mobility Forum, Leonard and Avinash Balachandran, head of TRI\u2019s Human-Centric Driving Research Department, presented an overview of their work.<\/p>\n<p>The presenters offered thoughts on multiple levels about automation and driving. Leonard and Balachandran discussed particular TRI systems while also suggesting that \u2014 after years of publicity about the possibility of fully automated vehicles \u2014 a more realistic prospect might be the deployment of technology that aids drivers, without replacing them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An automated system called Guardian is being developed by the Toyota Research Institute to amplify human control in a vehicle, as opposed to removing it.
