Applied Tech
The Artificial Intelligence Powering Autonomous Driving
Alexandru Condurache - Senior Expert @ Bosch
Room 32
8th November, 17:15-17:45
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the technology that currently enables significant advances what supporting humans in their daily activities is concerned, including driving. In this talk I will give an overview to how can we use AI to solve the task of Autonomous Driving in a manner that considers at the same time performance, efficiency, and safety. Considering AI an approach to building machines able to decide in an optimal manner, we will focus on modern algorithmic approaches that offer an AI-based solution for AD. We will discuss what decisions need to be made and what does optimality mean for each algorithmic building block of our solution, but also why and how can we integrate the blocks in a modular end2end algorithmic chain.
