How could self-driving cars make ethical decisions about who to kill?
Obviously, self-driving cars aren't perfect, so imagine that the Google car (as an example) got into a difficult situation.
Here are a few examples of unfortunate situations caused by a set of events:
The car is heading toward a crowd of 10 people…

Would Google's self-driving-car stop when it sees somebody with a T-shirt with a stop sign printed on it?
In Hidden Obstacles for Google’s Self-Driving Cars article we can read that:
Google’s cars can detect and respond to stop signs that aren’t on its map, a feature that was introduced to deal with temporary signs used at construction sites.
Google…

What are the advantages of having self-driving cars?
What are the advantages of having self-driving cars?
We will be able to have more cars in the traffic at the same time, but won't it also make more people choose to use the cars, so both the traffic and the public health will actually become…

Do self-driving cars resort to randomness to make decisions?
I recently heard someone make a statement that when you're designing a self-driving car, you're not building a car but really a computerized driver, so you're trying to model a human mind -- at least the part of the human mind that can drive.
Since…

Why are autonomous cars categorized as AI?
How are autonomous cars related to artificial intelligence? I would presume that artificial intelligence is when we are able to copy the human state of mind and perform tasks in the same way. But isn't an autonomous car just rule-based machines that…

What will happen when you place a fake speedsign on a highway?
I was wondering what will happen when somebody places a fake speedsign, of 10 miles per hour on a high way. Will a autonomous car slow down? Is this a current issue of autonomous cars?

Why did a Tesla car mistake a truck with a bright sky?
Do we know why Tesla's autopilot mistaken empty sky with a high-sided lorry which resulted in fatal crash involving a car in self-drive mode? Was it AI fault or something else? Is there any technical explanation behind this why this happened?
The…

What are the typical sizes of practical/commercial artificial neural networks?
I'm interested in artificial neural networks (ANN) and I wonder how big ANNs in practical use are, for example, Tesla Autopilot, Google Translate, and others.
The only thing I found about Tesla is this one:
"A full build of Autopilot neural…

Are self-driving cars using single frame or multiple frame to make decision?
This might be a trivial question but I couldn't find any reliable answers on the internet.
Almost all the neural network architectures for self-driving cars that I have seen on the internet have a feedforward network, previous frames will not help…

Self-driving control logic based on semantic segmentation
In the context of autonomous driving, two main stages are typically implemented: an image processing stage and a control stage. The first aims at extracting useful information from the acquired image while the second employs those information to…

What topologies support recognition of action sequences?
The ability to recognize an object with particular identifying features from single or multiple camera shoots with the temporal dimension digitized as frames has been shown. The proof is that the movie industry does face replacement to reduce…

Semantic Segmentation how to upsampling
Many of the architectures that do semantic segmentation like SegNet, DilatedNet (Yu and Koltun), DeepLab, etc. do not work on high resolution images. For such benchmarks like Cityscapes, what is a standard/practical approach for such methods to…
