Deswegen summen die per Vorschrift:
Elektro- und #Hybridfahrzeuge haben häufiger Unfälle mit Fußgängern als Benzinfahrzeuge, besonders in städtischen Gebieten. Die leiseren Motoren machen sie schwerer hörbar, was das Risiko erhöht. Daten belegen, dass diese Fahrzeuge doppelt so häufig

E-Autos gefährlicher für Fußgänger als Verbrenner
Weil es wohl am Krach liegt, zeigt es auch nur wieder: Unfälle werden nicht durch die Autofahrenden vermieden, sondern durch uns alle, die wir vorsichtig, ständig nach Gefahr lauschend, um sie herum schleichen, gehen, Rad fahren und unsere Kinder auch so konditionieren.

When `Computing follows Vehicles': Decentralized Mobility-Aware Resource Allocation in the Edge-to-Cloud Continuum
The transformation of smart mobility is unprecedented--Autonomous, shared and electric connected vehicles, along with the urgent need to meet ambitious net-zero targets by shifting to low-carbon transport modalities result in new traffic patterns and requirements for real-time computation at large-scale, for instance, augmented reality applications. The cloud computing paradigm can neither respond to such low-latency requirements nor adapt resource allocation to such dynamic spatio-temporal ser…

What We Augment When We Augment Visualizations: A Design Elicitation Study of How We Visually Express Data Relationships
Visual augmentations are commonly added to charts and graphs in order to convey richer and more nuanced information about relationships in the data. However, many design spaces proposed for categorizing augmentations were defined in a top-down manner, based on expert heuristics or from surveys of published visualizations. Less well understood are user preferences and intuitions when designing augmentations. In this paper, we address the gap by conducting a design elicitation study, where study …

Machine Learning in Viscoelastic Fluids via Energy-Based Kernel Embedding
The ability to measure differences in collected data is of fundamental importance for quantitative science and machine learning, motivating the establishment of metrics grounded in physical principles. In this study, we focus on the development of such metrics for viscoelastic fluid flows governed by a large class of linear and nonlinear stress models. To do this, we introduce a kernel function corresponding to a given viscoelastic stress model that implicitly embeds flowfield snapshots into a …

Computation used to train notable artificial intelligence systems
Computation is measured in total petaFLOP, which is 10¹⁵ floating-point operations estimated from AI literature, albeit with some uncertainty. Estimates are expected to be accurate within a factor of 2, or a factor of 5 for recent undisclosed models like GPT-4.
