Your Self-Driving Car – How Did It Get So Smart? - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The march towards autonomous vehicles continues to accelerate. While expert opinion differs on the specific timing and use cases that will emerge first, few deny that self-driving cars are in our future. As we all can appreciate, “teaching” a vehicle to drive under the full range of conditions it will encounter (i.e. road conditions, weather conditions, behavior of other vehicles) is a daunting proposition. If merely the thought of this makes you nervous, you’re not alone – according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), 75 percent of consumers are not yet ready to embrace self-driving cars. However, that is the very challenge facing automakers – teaching vehicles to unfailingly assess and respond to any combination of operational conditions “on-the-fly” through discrete rules (algorithms) governing a vehicle’s behavior.
