New AI approach accelerates targeted material discovery and creates foundation for self-driving experiments

by

Specification of an example experimental goal and translation into an automated data acquisition strategy. a Visualization of the design space and the corresponding measured property space for an example material system. Samples from the design space (a discrete set of design points) are directly mapped to a set of measured properties (measured property space). The … Read more

In a first phase, 3D models created with two images can stimulate self-driving capabilities

by

Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have successfully developed a groundbreaking method for 3D reconstruction. This new technique makes it possible to create accurate 3D models of objects with just two camera perspectives. This is a feat previously thought impossible without hundreds of images or controlled laboratory conditions. This breakthrough has the potential … Read more

BORIS JOHNSON: The Tesla ride with my wife and baby on the hair-raising roads of Los Angeles that convinced me that self-driving cars ARE the future

by
Self-driving Teslas – a new type of car, so ridiculous, so daring, so revolutionary that ten years ago I would have refused to believe it was possible, writes Boris Johnson

It takes a lot of courage to get into any car through the streets of Los Angeles. This morning I was watching the TV news in our hotel, and when they’re not talking about hush money for Stormy Daniels, they’re going to see live traffic reports – and boy, this is Prang City. Every major … Read more
