This Fourth Industrial Revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. The resulting shifts and disruptions mean that we ...
Sean Fleming. Málaga is the first place in Europe to trial full-size autonomous buses. China has recently changed the law to allow trials of its own. In Norway, where electric cars are already popular, two trials have been underway. The electric, self-driving bus is coming to cities. In some parts of the world, it has already arrived.
This article is part of: Global Technology Governance Summit. From fitness trackers to smart heating systems, the Internet of Things (IoT) describes the growing network of internet-enabled devices. It's also enabling smart cities and, in future, driverless cars. Along with other emerging technologies such as AI, the IoT is part of the Fourth ...
The trolley problem is the wrong guide for regulating AVs for three reasons: 1. Trolley problem scenarios are extremely rare. Even in a world of human-driven vehicles, for a driver to encounter a real-world trolley problem, he or she must 1) perceive an imminent collision in time to consider alternative paths; 2) have only one viable ...
Nov 24, 2015. The World Economic Forum, in conjunction with the Boston Consulting Group, has released the results of its first global survey of consumers’ attitudes towards self-driving cars. Our focus groups, and subsequent survey of 5,500 global city dwellers, reveals several surprising conclusions. The first surprise is that consumers are ...
Self-driving cars will be safer, they claim. With super sensors, laser and camera technology, they will be able to spot another car approaching, or a pedestrian in the road, and react far faster than a human driver could. But when it comes to preventing collisions with kangaroos, engineers at Volvo have hit a stumbling block.
An entrepreneur and an active advocate for diversity/bias in AI, Carol E. Reiley has touched many applications of AI/robotics: healthcare (Intuitive Surgical), space (Lockheed Martin), self-driving cars, etc. She co-founded and was president of the leading start-up drive.ai where she led partnerships with Lyft and Grab and raised over $77 million. She founded Tinkerbelle Labs, specializing in ...
Autonomous driving ability is displayed as levels 0 to 5. In levels 1 and 2, the autonomous driving functions assist the drivers (so-called assisted mode). Automated driving provisions of of level 3 are now entering regular production, while level 4 is expected by 2025. Level 3 is the lowest level of this automated mode.
The Future Series report outlines the example of where responsibility might lie if an autonomous car crashes with another: Is it the radar system, the software that controls it, the communications software between the two cars, the main software system controlling the car’s safety, the speed or quality of the connection between the cars? The ...
The study puts people behind the wheel of a self-driving car and forces them to make ethical decisions in potentially deadly scenarios. Image: World Economic Forum. We don’t know what we want. Research suggests that autonomous vehicles will reduce the number of accidents, and therefore fatalities on our roads.
