    negotiation, disturbance rejection and turning are all examples of behavior that require modulation of walking speed which is in turn driven by transient changes in muscle activations. A few studies in recent years have explored characteristics of transient walking [1], [2], [3]. It has been suggested that control of speed works through modulation of braking and propulsive impulses and to increase speed subjects change the braking impulse more than the propulsive one [2]. However, none of these…

I think about this everyday now, how I could have been that person…

    limited to only about half a day before they must stop. Some might say that going only forty-five miles an hour would make these trucks terrible when it comes to delivery time, I would disagree. With only eleven hour days, a human driver would need to speed at roughly ninety miles per hour to arrive at the same time as a self-driving truck would going forty-five for twenty-four hours. This does not include, of course, meals eaten, gas stops, and other breaks taken during the day that are…
