The Truth About Self-Driving Cars

Self-driving cars and more plentiful and powerful drones both rely on sophisticated technology to make decisions without direct human input. But is this technology safe? A group of San Diego State University computer scientists and engineers is skeptical. Watch this video to see why the team does not yet fully trust self-driving vehicles but is hopeful research might soon allow computers to take the wheel. Learn more  .

    00:00:00 foreign [Music] autonomy is super challenging but I really believe it's the next Computing Revolution [Music] [Music] any type of device that can navigate the physical world without me controlling it it will be achievable but we need

    00:00:46 another a kind of the coming generation of technology and it's really only limited by the complexity of autonomous tasks when a self-driving vehicle wants to stop when it recognizes an obstacle in front of you the perception pipeline is the key processing chain and that pipeline actually consists of three big stages and those tests are dependent

    00:01:12 each other if the perception pipeline cannot recognize the obstacle in a timely manner actually it causes the catastrophe accident we are researching the areas of AI machine learning computer vision sometimes we call it perception this will post a lot of challenge to the hardware to the software to the basically the Computing

    00:01:39 infrastructures in order to increase the maximum number of my whole approach to research is really hey there's some really smart people making algorithms and there's some really smart people making devices my purpose is to go to one side and the other and then figure out okay how do I bridge that Gap in the middle to do things more effectively I do what's called resource aware

    00:02:06 autonomy I try to make the devices that support autonomous applications more efficient if you look at all the really cool complicated algorithms and applications that like roboticists are developing we study them on devices that are tiny and mobile and might fit in something like a drone [Music]

    00:02:31 existing Solutions consider how to improve the control the communication systems the networking the mechanics of the systems but they ignore the Computing aspect of the system we are trying to develop both hardware and software solutions to make this flying Computing systems to happen so we developed Hardware's trying to improve the Computing capability of a single

    00:03:02 drone and also trying to bring multiple drones to collaborate together to complete some complicated computation tasks [Music] we are seeking software solutions to make drones to be able to share resources among each other foreign system to an almost perfect status but

    00:03:34 the research must go on [Music]
