JOHANN JUNGWIRTH, vice president of mobility-as-a-service at Intel-owned company Mobileye, says he spends two to three hours per day on the road. It's a long commute, especially given he's sitting behind the driver's wheel--except for the fact that he's not the one making decisions on the road. "I just push the Go button, and then, you know, I let it drive itself," Jungwirth tells WIRED after a Mobileye robotaxi drove him from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. Driving enthusiasts can now check out what that experience looks like, thanks to a 45-minute long unedited video of Mobileye's seven-seater electric van ferrying ride-hailing passengers around Jerusalem's narrow, winding roads. As the robotaxi, which comes equipped with Mobileye's True Redundancy sensing system, drives to different drop-off and pick-up points, it easily dodges the jaywalkers, gives way to cars suddenly interrupting its route, and navigates around parked cars and other obstacles blocking the way.

DeepMind Believes These are the Key Pillars of Robust Machine Learning Systems. Specification Testing, Robust Training and Formal Verification are three elements that the AI powerhouse believe hold the essence of robust….

Artificial rational agents can only reason properly if the right base of data has been provided. This happens in the phase of model initiation where the user defines the problem, prepares and processes the chosen data sets and chooses the applicable machine learning algorithms. The people involved have to be sufficiently skilled to get this preparation task properly done. The performance estimation phase is the next step where things can become suboptimal: various parameter combinations that describe the algorithm are validated and the best performing one is chosen. Only when prepared properly, the model can be deployed and begin solving the task on new real-time data.

Self-driving cars are the top priority for Lyft, the company's director of product has revealed. Taggart Matthiesen, who runs autonomous efforts at the rideshare firm, called it'one of the key pillars' the organization is working on, and said its'basically the brand.' He also said the company will always employ human drivers in some way, but while Lyft hasn't figured out in what capacity, it appears it would be for special services and not typical Lyft rides.
