Nissan is using technology designed by NASA for its Mars rovers to control fleets of autonomous vehicles. Called Seamless Autonomous Mobility (SAM), Nissan uses it as a solution for when vehicles’ autonomous systems do not know how to handle the unexpected. SAM allows an autonomous vehicle to assess a situation when it comes across something that it is not programmed for, and ask a human “handler” for assistance. SAM learns from the handler’s instructions, and shares this experience across the whole fleet, reducing the likelihood that the cars will need assistance in the future.
