Panel: Creating Autonomous Vehicle Systems
July 24, 3:30 – 5:00 pm, Meeting Hall 3
Autonomous driving is not a single technology but rather a complex system integration many technologies. In this special session, titled “Creating Autonomous Vehicle Systems,” four presentations, two from the industry, two from academia, will focus on different areas of autonomous driving. First, we will have Jialin Jiao from Uber Technologies Inc present the latest progress on machine learning assisted high-definition map generate technology. Dr. Songwen Pei (University of Shanghai for Science and Technology) will discuss his latest research results on deep learning based localized traffic sign recognition technology. To conclude, although autonomous driving education is an extremely important topic but little study has been done in this area, Dr. Jie Tang (South China University of Technology) will introduce an international collaboration project on autonomous driving education.
