The Road to Autonomous Cars

Saturday, 14 February 2015: 10:00 AM-11:30 AM
Room 230B (San Jose Convention Center)
Driverless cars are coming. They're going to hit the roads in the next decade and will probably drive better than you. But how will they fit into the daily stream of traffic? How can engineers turn the instincts and reactions of the world's best (safest) drivers into driving algorithms? And perhaps most importantly, who is at fault if a robotic car crashes?
