Driving Change: The Maths Behind Autonomous Vehicles - with Prof Michael Milford

from The Random Sample · host MACSYS

A few short years ago, it was one of the most hyped technology fields around. But after all that excitement, where are we now with autonomous vehicles — or driverless cars? In this episode, we go under the hood to explore how AVs gather and use data, and the complex mathematics that helps them navigate a messy, unpredictable world. What are the challenges still standing in the way? And how close are we, really, to letting go of the wheel? Our guest is Professor Michael Milford, Director of the QUT Centre for Robotics – and someone who’s been working on this problem for much of his career. Our host is Dr James Nichols.
