La Dra. Valentina Donzella, de la Universidad de Warwick (UK), brindará la charla "Driverless cars: the imitation game?" en el salón B01 del Edificio Polifuncional "José Luis Massera" el viernes 6 de setiembre de 17 a 18 h. La presentación será inglés sin traducción simultánea.
Abstract
Autonomous vehicles can be the breakthrough of this century: from drones, to cars and trucks, they promise to change our way of commuting, travelling, shipping goods, cultivating food, etc.. In particular, autonomous cars can enhance dramatically the safety of road travels, can reduce accidents, congestions, CO2 emissions and overall can enhance the comfort of drivers and passengers. However the road to fully autonomous vehicles is still brimful of technical challenges, and I am going to discuss some of them: robustness and safety of electronic systems, sensor and sensor fusion, artificial intelligence, human factors (trust, regulations, etc.), simulation and testing.
