Will the pandemic hasten the era of robots, drones and autonomous cars? We analyse this effect, focusing on the case of driverless vehicles.

The keys to improving the trafficking problem may lie in the mechanisms of genetics. This operation is what evolutionary algorithms imitate to achieve the most optimal solutions to a problem. Achieving a smoother traffic flow and reducing pollution in cities is just one of its applications, which are already reaching industrial processes and financial markets.
