“There are likely ways to find a way to introduce autonomous vehicles into mixed environments with human drivers that is adequate. It gets a little bit tricky if the human drivers are adversarially trying to screw with or exploit the autonomous vehicles. ”
Where Are We At With Autonomous Vehicles?
Professor Michael Milford
Director QUT Centre for Robotics
The car of the future is apparently one that we don't even control. Autonomous vehicles are already commonplace in large mines, and have been popping up in a number of cities around the world as taxis.
Professor Michael Milford is the Director of the QUT Centre for Robotics in Brisbane, Australia.
He explains why the ability to not drive yourself is a relief, the key hurdles that have already been overcome, and just how soon we will all be letting go of the steering wheel.
