Seminar "The 'auto' in 'auto'nomous, it is related to the co-pilot question"
On November, 19th at 9.00, Marc Proesmans (KU Leuven) will give an invited talk on "The 'auto' in 'auto'nomous, it is related to the co-pilot question". The event is organized as the third of a cycle of seminars on AI for Automotive, as part of the "Neural Network Computing, AI and Machine Learning for Automotive" and "Learning Algorithms for Smart Intelligent Systems" courses (Prof. Cucchiara, Baraldi) and will be streamed online.
Abstract
The race to develop a fully self-driving car has been going on for a while. The field of participants is diverse: from hip tech companies to major car manufacturers, some are more reckless than others. We give an insight in our research and development on autonomous cars, the technical challenges, the technologies we use, but with an eye on the needs from the industry, the end-users, the safety and comfort.
