Today, autonomous vehicles are no longer a futuristic dream. But in 2019, industry leaders and researchers were still figuring how they work, the challenge of teaching AI to make life-and-death decisions, and the profound changes this technology could bring to our lives.
This special panel from our archives featured Dmitri Dolgov from Waymo, Chris Gerdes from Stanford University, Jesse Levinson from Zoox, and Jack Weast of Mobileye. It was moderated by Talithia Williams of Harvey Mudd College and cohost of the PBS series NOVA Wonders.
The program was recorded on October 18, 2019, at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, as a part of a special screening of the NOVA documentary, Look Who's Driving. To watch a video of this program, please visit the Computer History Museum’s YouTube channel.
