used nick spicer for me in the team here in berlin let's watch. w.'s crime fighters are back to africa's most successful radio drama series continues in the all of us odes are available online to get more so you can share and discuss among w africa's facebook page and other social media platforms to crime fighters tune in now. this state of emergency normal. people around the world are documenting this traumatic times. they're keeping the

corona diary. and welcoming us into their hot spot. discussion as up close and personal as the pandemic will allow. diaries starts many on w. . sit special how researchers in germany are driving the future of mobility. self driving cars are full of artificial intelligence and the technology keeps improving reporter oxon vaclav visited researchers at the sci research center and lead and autonomy askari taken 1st been through the streets of cars where. this car is a model for a few jacky imo benefiting the camera i'm going to officially intelligence guidance system. in the correct. plane arms recognize road mccain has anybody in the

cockpit in staring will attach them to often means x. those help please but this isn't a game it's fundamental research and development itself driving a high cost at the cost of research center for information technology that's what did i can see this model is ideal because we can test the ai in a closed and secure environment. that way we can spot problems early on without the effort of having to use an actual vehicle. a quick attempt to grab the wheel was only on i was the better driver. i haven't had to drink. a i can even recognise the drivers condition today dashboard camera systems can already detect whether the driver is sleepy and in need of a break this ai system. is in there my heart rate i would exactly does that informs us that these green areas highlighted there on your

face. these areas are sections of our skin or a i can determine our pulse by registering the slightest changes in skin color. we humans can't detect any difference. but a camera can detect and visualize your post for us not. recognizing process sorts of biometric data like whether you'll stop. feeling relaxed or about to fall asleep this recognition. so much cars nowadays are already using simpler systems that can analyze your blinking rate and recognise when a driver is getting tired in which case it will recommend the driver takes a break. exactly and in the future we might have autonomous cars that only take over in certain times like a traffic jam. once the traffic jam is over the car needs to be sure that the driver is ready to take back the steering wheel. future cars might even be smart

enough to drive according to your most. suitable. basis cocom a self driving car at the edge said early research center in calls for a. it's being used to explore automated parking reporter axel wagner uses his smart to them to summon its future cars could independently look for a parking space and even be called to the exit via smart time. when it stopped at the exact spot agrees upon the system works but to be safe to scientists stay on board for long case they need to know to be true source ready to go over the course took it to him ok's i will join of them. the car does all the driving at the right yes ok. they're off for a ride around the testing compound wall where the 2nd these artificial agents pick here. that conserves on the insult driving vehicles artificial intelligence is used

almost everywhere. it's mainly used to detect the vehicle surroundings. in other words the vehicle has to be able to tell which objects are around it and how these objects interact with one another. and how the vehicle should react to these objects ok to take a traffic light for example the car must be able to identify at this particular traffic light is built to send signals on its current status to the car additionally and onboard computer uses ai to transmit g.p.s. data as a base which will match and thereby determine the route. but how well does it spot other people on the road. in. brick shortly so you're going to start exactly this part of the cyclists shortly and then continues cautiously waiting for the road to clear before it accelerates again. but what about

a careless pedestrian who steps onto the road without paying attention to traffic. will he be spotted to you. in the least safe thanks to control senses the roadsides which transmit the pedestrians exact locations of the car. in the future smart cars will need wide reaching technical networks in traffic to ensure everyone sings thank. you this is bertha one equipped with cameras and all kinds of sensors it's one of the 1st cars in germany to be allowed to drive autonomous me outside of the testing compound this is where the computer is and it's easy going to hot yes exactly this is the main computer along with quite a lot of other electronics it's as complicated as it looks to me as artificial intelligence uses were here and this is a good example and the sensors are built in here at the back. it's not. off at the

research center but who will take the 2 for a run each through the streets of cancer a. traffic lights. stop signs. and above all on coming traffic just a glimpse of what's to come in the city center. destination is the testing ground for autonomy driving. this is where bertha's behavior is monitored and recorded similar tamia slate she receives valuable information through cameras and sensors and on the road. this network helps betham maneuver through traffic independently. was there for the focus because you don't quite trust bertha is right. yes exactly . the states these are just tests engineered to stay focused. it's much less relaxing than driving yourself away but that will change once everything works more reliably still things are you know millions of signals are transmitted to the

onboard computer tech every 2nd it's uses ai to analyze any information that might be relevant for participating in city traffic when we're driving up brain takes over this job with a hey i there's still room for improvement for a brief moment but if it is overwhelmed. the thing. is you have to take over hearts what exactly i had to intervene at this spot on the road the car always has localization difficulties as there are many distinctive markings around mark peoples and so the computer struggles to locate where it's at and that's why i took over for a bit because he understood the courts i could hire for you know. less lives when you think i could buy a car like bertha a car that can independently see the city provided i think ford of course does a side and it's hard to say because there are so many different situations to consider if some experts say it will take another 10 to 15 years but i wouldn't

count on that. there are still too many unforeseeable situations in which a human would be able to respond but a car wouldn't if so it's still too difficult to estimate how long it'll take. so for now at least bertha remains one of a kind. field argue about our language. not me i systems in the tunnel missed cars use what's known as optical flow to detect others in traffic scientist at the max planck institute in to being in show how easily these systems can be hacked. these 3 scientists aren't rolling around and they're testing the optical fly with artificial intelligence the idea behind it ai translates movements like can't movements into cullen's. change according to the movements direction. is moving to the right then and then your optical show is

going to look like yellow in the color map and the foster the brighter the color is so so if it's moving right at a really high speed then you see it like a bright yellow thing and then if going slowly then it's more towards the light so we have like a color wheel representation which sort of like shows the corresponding so the loss of uses that stuff like happened in the video and objects. whenever i know recommend john moves to the left the computer displays this as the color yellow bright purple. but there is much more to optics alone. can seem to also calculate and anticipate the movement of other objects in the vicinity. when the car continued driving straight away that still isn't commissioned imminent i can calculate this in a fraction of a 2nd. to the computer every image is a fresh image circuit seeing the world every 30 times a 2nd brand new and optical flow is what. next things across time and allows the

computer to have a consistent representation of the world much more like we do. the scientists want to try to disrupt ai working with the optical flow methods. to do this they've calculated colorful patterns. they might not mean much to the human eye but they certainly mean a lot to ai this one here shows ai off the most. that the motion is going to spur. when the pattern is covered up the system works fine. but once the pattern is visible the system gets confused and can no longer compute the optic flow. to artificial intelligence this is a jumble of contradictory information. but we were surprised by the extent of the

problem. we weren't surprised the ai could be disrupted like this. there was already pretty existing research on the issue patch but seeing how such a small patch can are such far reaching consequences is quite worrying. if the colorful patent patch takes up just one percent of the area of the ai system reads it's going to step up to 50 percent of its field of vision. there are a few people running websites which can work in the end of it's going to work and then like foggy climate and stuff but 1st we can try and start from this like this with this can be a lot worse for these you know. this patent was calculated that means hackers who understand artificial intelligence could create similar patterns if they do they could completely disrupt autonomous driving systems there. maybe a bit of

a war going on between people trying to attack and people trying to produce robust systems this is exactly what we see also with any kind of security software or you know hackers find a loophole in some operating system they inform the manufacturer of the new defenses are made and then you know it's an evolving system that researches want to use what they've learned on how to hack into autonomous driving ai systems to warn manufacturers off the danger is if they can make autonomous vehicles more resistant to such attacks then sure that want to make smart cars will be safer drivers but.
