Autonomous, self-driving cars<\/strong>\u00a0have the potential to impact society in many ways, including taxi\/bus service; shipping and delivery; and commuting to\/from work. This talk will give an overview of the history, technological work to date and challenges, and potential future impact of self-driving cars. A key challenge is the ability to perceive the environment from the cars sensors, i.e. how can a car convert pixels from a camera, to knowledge of a scene with cars, cyclist, and pedestrians. This perceived information is typically uncertain, constantly being updated, yet must also be used for important decisions by the car, ranging from a simple change to lanes, or stopping and queuing at a traffic light. Videos, examples, and insights will be given of Cornell\u2019s autonomous car, as well as key performers such as Google\/Waymo and car companies. We can then hypothesize together of how our future will look as this amazing technology continues to unfold!<\/p>\n
