"We're never going to use it unless we can trust it." Maynard Holliday speaks on the criticality of trusting autonomy and AI at the University of Maryland - A. James Clark School of Engineering MATRIX Lab Autonomy Summit. These technologies aren't going anywhere unless users believe in them.

There are just a few days left to register for the Autonomy Summit! This is a unique, can't-miss opportunity to work with VIPs in government, industry, and academia to help create an action plan for determining how to know when we can trust autonomy.

Thank you Derek Paley for a great Evening@SMART presentation. We learned a lot about how autonomous air and ground vehicles can be trained to assess life-threatening injuries in crisis situations, as well as how the info they gather can be used by First Responders to help better improve triage care.
