From sensors to simulation: managing how autonomous vehicles interact with the environment

One of the biggest challenges in developing automated vehicles is ensuring that the vehicle can successfully and safely interact with the environment and other humans. Fortunately, researchers around the world are looking closely at this problem. One of them, Josh Siegel — Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University — joins Prasanna Pendse in the second episode of the Architecture of Future Tech to examine how trust can be ensured, discussing everything from sensors through to computation, simulation and regulation.

Visions of future technology can captivate, inspire and sometimes even polarize. However, one thing that often gets overlooked among the hype and debate is the all-important issue of how future technologies are actually going to be made: how they’re built and how they’re going to work. Or, to put it another way, we rarely ask what needs to happen for the future to happen? In Architecture of Future Tech, Prasanna Pendse, Head of Technology for Thoughtworks India, explores how some of the most exciting and widely discussed innovations of the future are being made — with the help of leading industry figures at the forefront of technological change.
