Autonomous cars might be here before you know it
The idea of driverless cars roaring down any major motorway might seem scary, but did you know there are already autonomous vehicles driving around campus? Researchers at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics, including Wei Zhou, are applying semantic segmentation to the vehicle’s camera footage, so that the car can see obstacles and gauge distances in order to drive itself safely around campus. They’re using data to build up a bank of data that can then create a map of the environment to make self-driving cars a reality.
