Environmental concerns are compromising beneficial uses of the Great Lakes, a team of UWindsor researchers write in the Conversation.
Human kinetics professor Francesco Biondi is leading research into the effect of vehicle automation on driver cognitive load.
Most cars have cruise control, automatically slow down if you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, or alert you if you are drifting out of your lane.
But do such automations make drivers less attentive, increasing the risk of collisions?
Safety demands that drivers educate themselves on automated technologies before they get behind the wheel, writes kinesiology professor Francesco Biondi.
As automated technologies are increasingly incorporated into car design, consumers need to educate themselves on these features for safety reasons.
After a second crash involving the Boeing 737 in less than five months, Air Canada has grounded the planes until July.
Kinesiology professor Francesco Biondi looks at the role human-machine interaction may have played in the crashes of two Boeing 737 planes.
