Lucy Yu | Think like a human: Self-driving vehicles and the rules of the road

Lucy Yu, Director of Public Policy at FiveAI, is focusing on how to translate the rules of the road – designed and written with human drivers in mind – to the language of computers. Autonomous vehicles may have better sensors than humans, but their ability to reason in ambiguous or new situations is limited. To codify the intuitions many humans rely on when driving, FiveAI starts by providing rules for the car to follow in the most standard conditions, then gives it experience in a controlled version of real world driving. ABOUT WIRED PULSE: AI AT THE BARBICAN 450 business executives, technologists and enthusiasts gathered at The Barbican Centre’s Concert Hall in London, for WIRED Pulse: AI at the Barbican on June 15, 2019.
