A survey of millions of people in more than 200 countries shows ethical decisions are never simple.
What does this have to do with AI self-driving cars?
AI Self-Driving Cars Will Need to Make Life-or-Death Judgements
At the Cybernetic AI Self-Driving Car Institute, we are developing AI software for self-driving cars. One crucial aspect to the AI of self-driving cars is the need for the AI to make “judgments” about driving situations, ones that involve life-and-death matters.
Develops through 4 pillars: Energy, Innovation in Materials, Powertrain & Vehicle Architecture, Sound & Emotion.
Driverless cars are coming, and they’re likely to make life on the road easier and more convenient — for some of us. But will they create new ethical problems?
Rice University researchers have demonstrated methods for both designing innovative data-centric computing hardware and co-designing hardware with machine-learning algorithms that together can improve energy efficiency by as much as two orders of magnitude.
Advances in machine learning, the form of artificial intelligence behind self-driving cars and many other high-tech applications, have ushered in a new era of computing—the data-centric era—and are forcing engineers to rethink aspects of computing architecture that have gone mostly unchallenged for 75 years.
“The problem is that for large-scale deep neural networks, which are state-of-the-art for machine learning today, more than 90% of the electricity needed to run the entire system is consumed in moving data between the memory and processor,” said Yingyan Lin, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Applications are now open for the nanodegree program, which will help Udacity train developers on the Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure.
Elon Musk has said that “it is time to bring” Tesla Semi electric trucks to volume production in a memo to all Tesla employees.
In a new email to employees last night, Musk that he wants to go “all out”:
“It’s time to go all out and bring the Tesla Semi to volume production. It’s been in limited production so far, which has allowed us to improve many aspects of the design.”
A new version of Google’s mapping service being rolled out will display pandemic-related transit alerts and let people know when buses or trains might be crowded.
Updated versions of the free app for smartphones powered by Apple or Google-backed Android software will also let drivers know about COVID-19 checkpoints or restrictions on their routes.
“We’re introducing features to help you easily find important information if you need to venture out, whether it’s by car or public transportation,” Google Maps product management director Ramesh Nagarajan said in a blog post.
