Taipei, Aug. 26 (CNA) A driverless vehicle project developed by Taiwanese and Canadian experts is hoping to take the top prize when the winners of an autonomous vehicle challenge are announced in Dubai and bring recognition to the sector in Taiwan.

Li Kang (李綱), an associate professor in National Taiwan University's (NTU) Mechanical Engineering Department and one of the key developers, said the project is one of three finalists in the "startups" category at the Dubai World Challenge and Exhibition for Self-driving Transport next month.

The category is the second highest tier of the competition, one rung below the "leaders" class for well-established driverless car companies.

It requires that competing vehicles demonstrate basic navigation in controlled environments and integrate the advanced driver assistance system to perform "the entire dynamic driving task on a sustained basis."    [FULL  STORY]
