The transport industry is on the edge of a transformation: Smart, connected, self-driving vehicles present an opportunity to significantly enhance road safety, and bring efficiency improvements. Tomorrow’s vehicles depend upon a network of interconnected AI systems, which this talk will outline - highlighting the outstanding challenges to achieve fully smart, connected, self-driving transportation. Chaired by Dr Rachel Wang and led by Dr Andrew Bradley, with the support of Dr Alex Rast and Dr Aduen Benjumea, the session will showcase some of the work Brookes has been doing in the field, the achievements made by our student teams and discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead in the field of autonomous driving.
