How machine learning is teaching autonomous vehicles in driver error

Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lutz Eckstein, an automotive engineering expert at RWTH Aachen University, discusses how machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are aiding autonomous vehicles (AVs) in adapting to human errors on the road. We are all familiar with the term “human error”, after all. Eckstein and his team are working diligently to maximise the role of machine learning in helping autonomous vehicles understand human driver behaviour patterns. By using data from various sources, including drones and roadside units, AVs can learn to anticipate and respond to unpredictable human behaviour.

Understanding human error and learning how, when and why they occur will, ultimately, make the task of driving inherently safer. Ultimately, the goal is to demonstrate that AVs can navigate complex scenarios as effectively as or better than human drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents and fatalities.

V2X: Why is privacy still such a burning issue?

Privacy concerns around V2X (vehicle-to-everything) technology are usually driven by fears of surveillance by the government and other corporations. Privacy has long been a concern predating Intelligent Transportation Systems, as individuals are cautious about the use of their data, including location information. People have varied responses to privacy, from adamantly refusing to disclose any information to those who feel they have nothing to conceal. This range of attitudes is apparent in the mobile phone sector, with some choosing "burner" phones to avoid tracking, while others freely share their location data in exchange for services such as real-time navigation.

While V2X systems are designed to protect privacy through measures like random identifiers and limited data sharing, certain applications may require disclosing personal information, such as collision avoidance systems versus functions like vehicle charging. Road authorities are advised to focus on solidifying transportation network foundations and implementing measures to protect privacy, such as data encryption and access controls while prioritising communication and education to build trust and understanding among users.

Smart mobility with Chat GPT-4: Transport just got even more intelligent

Many of us are very much aware of the growth of OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Chat GPT-4 since its launch in 2022. The core advancement of ChatGPT-4 lies in its natural language processing NLP model, built on a "transformer" architecture, which enables it to generate natural language responses to various queries and scenarios. This technology enhances autonomous vehicles' understanding of their environment, allowing them to identify objects and respond accordingly to obstacles or hazards encountered on the road.

In the realm of urban mobility, ChatGPT-4's potential is groundbreaking. It promises to revolutionise urban planning by generating detailed informatics on projected developments and their impacts on traffic and mobility. Additionally, ChatGPT-4 aids in identifying traffic congestion areas and proposing alternative routes, ultimately leading to more efficient traffic management and enjoyable ride experiences.
