EE380: Computer Systems Colloquium Seminar
Autonomous Driving, are we there yet? - Technology, Business, Legal Considerations
Speaker: Sven Beiker, Stanford GSB

Autonomous driving is arguably one of the most anticipated topics in the tech community. It is pivotal to one of the most established industries as autonomous driving changes the entire field from a sector providing a very hardware oriented product to offering personal mobility without the need to drive a car. Now, there are still many questions to be answered. As we are changing the paradigm of what an automobile is, not just technology solutions need to be found, but also business models will change and legal frameworks need to be adapted. This talk will look at the topic of autonomous driving from different perspectives and discuss what needs to happen to make a great vision become reality and change transportation forever.
