"Strategic thinking on critical thinking but in doing so the human to stay in charge because these systems make mistakes so ultimately it's to sink is systems as is kind of insurance Running around doing errands for you presenting you with data that's that you can actual but ultimately it's the humans who really needs to decide was we have not achieved the kind of performance That would make it safe for us to let a hobby systems Make decision especially knocking safety critical applications. Yeah that's very interesting you momentarily there to to autonomous driving and their the the the eventuality from your your lips to god's ears that we get to a point where there are no Road fatalities as a result advanced technology. I know you've been working on some of the thorniest issues related to that allowing autonomous vehicles for example to drive in adverse weather conditions or or other sorts of complexities. Talk a little bit about where we are in in the pathway to the eventual goal of full autonomous driving Well that's very exciting guy area up here. I have been working on this for many years. Ten years on autonomous driving And many more on mobility. And i would say that autonomous driving is a very exciting challenge. Right now we have made great strides as a community. But it's important to understand that today's solutions are also limited So today's solutions are mostly applied to Gio fence areas that means the closed area where every rose has been prematch And is matched Are high definition maps. So they're not google maps. They're the kind of maps that are placed placing sensor space. And they're huge. For instance a map of san francisco. High definition map of san francisco takes on the order of terabytes of data whereas capital logical matt with all the roads on the planet. That's only on the order of gigabytes. So that you can kind of get a sense of what these solutions mean. And there are limitations so for instance the sensors that are used right. Now or thomas driving laser scanners and cameras not working weather. And that's why everyone is testing. They're the he calls in arizona where it never rains never. My group is interested in enabling. While tom the in weather situations my group is also interested in In extending the scope beyond abby beyond your fenced areas where we have high definition maps to areas that have not been mapped before And job and what's important here is to realize that i'm a math. Works well in a dense urban environment than lots of features but if you go to the cornfields of iowa or to the deserts of the middle east with roaches. Not work so we need the message. So we are looking at smokeless have navigation. We're looking at at Reducing the amount of time and the accuracy required of the perception system So new approaches to deciding what to how to define what safe drop drivable regions are in recent In recent results are that. I'm very excited about looking at how we can enable a future with nixed Roadways where you hop humans cars and robots cars and that is really important. Because i believe that that's where we are going to be in the future and right now robot cars do not understand human with cars so he thought like human agan car is alive. That wants to let you take that on protected left hand turn as as a robot. How'd you know how does the robot how how can the robots assess. That's the incoming. Traffic is egotistic. may not meaning That traffic's noggin the slow down for the turn or altruistic meaning The the heat will slow down al. We have a message that allows us to assess the personality of the car on the road using metric developed by a social behavior community called social value orientation and as metric is mathematical. So you can imagine directly into the control system of a robot car. So i'm very excited about the possibility of a future with human driven cars. That can coordinate. Well was one hundred cars but before we moved to your next question. I do want to say the following. So why why do we have all these limitations. On the current technology and recurrent the current commercial solutions. I would say that we also have for great products was watched. The technology can provide safety right now and but that is not Driving on the mass. Pike or through the crowded streets of boston At at rush sign. Okay we can't do that. We can't weather can do a heavy traffic. We can do high speed traffic at what we can safely a slow movement whereby slow. I mean say speeds below thirty miles an hour in low complexity environments so by that i need campuses retirement communities definitely not a downtown boston. So if we have if we identify these particular applications. There is so much autonomous driving can do we can have. We can have applications to on factory yards and more. it's and retirement communities then hospitals. We can we can make or thomas cars and golf carts and trailers and wheelchairs and gurneys. Anything on wheels Can essentially be a product. That system is moving on sluice spaces that are reasonably simple at reasonably simple speeds of safety and we can deliver autonomy. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us today. It's been a great conversation with you. Thank you for having me. Keep an honor. Thanks for tuning in. Please join me on thursday when my guests will be held arbor. The chief information officer of tenet healthcare..
