so to belong to a member of. this is. special how researchers in germany are driving the future. self driving cars are full of artificial intelligence and the technology keeps improving reporter visited researchers at the sci research center and lead and autonomy car taken for a spin through the streets of cars. this car is a model for a future. camera. system.
1:16 pm
and. to help but. it's fundamental research and development. at the. information technology. model is ideal because we can test in a closed and secure environment. that way we can spot problems early on without the effort of having to use an actual vehicle. to grab the we. haven't had. a i can't even recognize the driver's condition today dashboard camera systems can already detect whether the driver is sleeping. but this system. and exactly just that. these green areas highlighted there on your face.
1:17 pm
these areas are sections of our. ai can determine our pulse by registering the slightest changes in skin color and. we humans can't detect any difference. but a camera can detect and visualize your post for us is 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 began eyes are blinking rate and recognize when a driver is getting tired in which case it will recommend the driver takes a break. in some men before 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 the driver is ready to take back the steering wheel. future cars might even be smart enough to

drive according to your mood. basis cocom a self driving cars at the edge said early research center in calls really. it's being used to explain all automated parking reporter axel bach now uses his smock to them to summon its future cars could independently look for a parking space and even be called to the exit science much time. when it was stopped at the exact spot agreed upon this is them once but to be safe to scientists stay on board and on case they need to know to do so is ready to go with of course took it to him ok i will join of them. the car does all the driver of the right yes ok. they're off for a ride around the testing compound wallowed that these artificial agents make here . invest on the insult driving vehicles artificial intelligence is used almost

everywhere. it's mainly used to detect the vehicle surroundings on the or 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 occurring take a traffic light for example become 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 of a spiritual map and thereby to determine the route. but how well does it support other people on the road. you mean and. so you know exactly what is part of the cyclist shortly and then continues cautiously waiting for the road to clear before it accelerates again. but what
1:20 pm
about a careless pedestrian who steps onto the road without paying attention to traffic. will he be spotted to be in the least safe thanks to control sentences the road signs which transmit the pedestrians exact locations of the car. in the future smart cars with wide reaching technicolor networks in traffic to ensure everyone seems sane. bit since birth one equipped with cameras and all kinds of sun says it's one of the 1st cars in germany to be allowed to drive autonomous me outside of the testing compound this is where your computer is and if you cannot yes exactly this is the main computer along with quite a lot of other electronics it's as complicated as a looks so that means artificial intelligence as it were here in this in. the sensors are built in here at the back and it's not. being off at the research

center but who will take the team for a run through the streets of paris ruin. 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. big cities where both this behavior is monitored and recorded simple tamia slate she receives valuable information through cameras and sensors along the route. this network helps bertha maneuver through traffic independently. most of the focus because you don't quite trust. god yes exactly. god has other states these are just tests engineered to stay focused. it's much less relaxing the driving herself. but that will change once everything works more reliably with still so you know millions of signals are transmitted to the onboard
1:22 pm
computer to every 2nd it 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 on i there's still room for improvement for a brief moment but it is overwhelmed. today. so you have to take over it's not exactly what i had to intervene at this point on the road the car always has looked wise ation difficulties as there are many distinctive markings around mark cables and so the computer struggles to locate where it's at and that's why i took over for a bit concerned after the courts aren't hired for yeah. that's right someone's you think i could buy a car like bertha a car that can independently see the city provided i can afford it of course i does aside and it's hard to say because there are so many different situations to consider good for me some experts say it'll take another 10 to 15 years but i
1:23 pm
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 make it so it's still too difficult to estimate how long it'll take . so for now at least bertha remains one of a kind. you don't give out or even lick. somebody i systems in autonomy 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 fooling around and they're testing the optical fly with artificial intelligence the idea behind it ai translates movements like hands movements into cullen's. change according to the movements direction. cars moving to the right there and then your optical so it's
1:24 pm
gonna look like yellow in the color map and the foster moves the brighter the colors so so if it's moving right at a really high speed then you see it like a bright yellow thing and then if it's moving slowly then it's more towards the light so we have like a color wheel representation which sort of like shows the corresponding to the last 2 years but stuff like happened in the video and objects move. whenever i know recommend john moves to the left the computer displays they see as the color yellow right is purple. but there is much more to optics alone the computer also calculates and since a painter the movement of other objects in the vicinity. when the car continued driving straight away that still is a commission imminent i can calculate this in a fraction of a 2nd. to the computer every image is a fresh image it's like it seeing the world every. 30 times a 2nd brand new and optical flow is what. next things across time and allows
1:25 pm
a 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. spurious. 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
1:26 pm
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 past new 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 fish and. there are a few people owning websites which can work in ram or it's going to work. and like foggy climate and stuff but 1st we can hire and start from the fact that smith's was going to be a lot for us for the. this patent was calculated that means hackers who understand artificial intelligence which create similar patterns if they do they could completely disrupt autonomous driving systems there. maybe a bit of
1:27 pm
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 you know hackers find a loophole in some operating system they inform the manufacturer of the new distances are made and then. it's an evolving system the 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 one day smart cars will be safer drivers but.
1:28 pm
the virus has become part of the system. is the world on the brink of a major transition some believe globalization is coming to an end while other strengths we should keep going full speed ahead of future for as long as we can. afford is it time for a great deal of future scenarios for the economy and society if it really doesn't. just. india.
