Sorry, the signup deadline has passed.
The concept of a driverless car has been around almost as long as the car itself. Research in this area was continuous through the years, but relatively low-scale. Research picked up in the 1970s, with machine vision technology, and leapt ahead in the 1990s with the advent of GPS, radar, and lidar. This presentation will cover work on driverless vehicles from the 1950s through today, and will include a current status report and a tutorial on how driverless cars "work." The program will conclude with a discussion of what's next for driverless cars - and their passengers.
