An expert in aircraft design, Illan Kroo, talks about a new generation of flying vehicles that could transform our very concept of transportation-like personal flying cars that take off and land vertically or commercial airliners fueled by clean-burning hydrogen.
Many companies pay a fee to use machine learning models developed and provided by another company (e.g., Google, Amazon, or Microsoft) and access these services by way of an API. Stanford researchers created HAPI (History of APIs) as well as two tools that provide consumers with an automated way to choose the best API for a particular task, dataset and budget.
In this The Future of Everything podcast, Mac Schwager, talks safety in multi-robot systems, like those controlling the autonomous vehicles that will soon fill our future.
Chris Gerdes discusses his recently published work with collaborators at Ford Motor Co. on how AVs facing exceptional driving situations can legally and ethically negotiate these scenarios within the existing legal system in the U.S.
Stanford researchers estimate the impact of rising EV ownership in the western U.S. could boost power demand as much as 25% by 2035, the year when California has banned the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles.The study says more EV charging should be done during midday hours—ideally at work or public stations—when wind and solar power supplies are at their peak, sometimes producing more energy than the grid can handle.
Researchers developed a novel AI agent with the ability to seek out new knowledge by asking people questions. "Socially situated artificial intelligence" combines aspects of computer vision and human cognitive and behavioral sciences to take machine learning in a new direction.
In this latest law, policy and AI update, two developments are notable: The U.S. continues to ramp up export controls to prevent China from expanding its chip manufacturing capabilities and the first lawsuit against Github's CoPilot system was filed in the Northern District of California.
