My Car, The Jerk: Helping Self-Driving Cars Be Nice
Description:
As drivers, we constantly make critical intuitive judgments in order to drive safely and smoothly around people. As AV’s learn and interact with the world around them, this same level of understanding will be crucial for building consumer trust in AV technology. This session will explore those critical judgments - charting a course for the necessary level of understanding between pedestrian and car and creating a new code of conduct autonomous cars will follow while we drive, walk or cycle around them in the commuting ecosystem of the future.

Takeaways
- Anticipating human behavior is probably the hardest, but most critical for the safe and smooth operation of AV systems.
- Tremendous progress has been made with the 'physics' of automated driving, but driving goes beyond 'physics'.
- A theory of mind approach to intent prediction enables us to solve problems that cannot be effectively achieved with existing methods.
