TLDR
This article describes the evolution of this system from a research project in machine learning to a robust driving system capable of executing tactical driving maneuvers such as lane changing and intersection navigation.Abstract:
Giving robots the ability to operate in the real world has been, and continues to be, one of the most difficult tasks in AI research. Since 1987, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have been investigating one such task. Their research has been focused on using adaptive, vision-based systems to increase the driving performance of the Navlab line of on-road mobile robots. This research has led to the development of a neural network system that can learn to drive on many road types simply by watching a human teacher. This article describes the evolution of this system from a research project in machine learning to a robust driving system capable of executing tactical driving maneuvers such as lane changing and intersection navigation.read more

The spatial semantic hierarchy
TL;DR: The assumptions and guarantees behind the generality of the SSH across environments and sensorimotor systems are described and evidence is presented from several partial implementations of the ssh on simulated and physical robots.

Machine learning, social learning and the governance of self-driving cars:
TL;DR: Focusing on the successes and failures of social learning around the much-publicized crash of a Tesla Model S in 2016, it is argued that trajectories and rhetorics of machine learning in transport pose a substantial governance challenge.

Interest Point Detector and Feature Descriptor Survey
TL;DR: The interest point is the keypoints in each image, and often provides the scale, rotational, and illumination invariance attributes for the descriptor; the descriptor adds more detail and more invariant attributes.
