DESCRIPTION:Self-driving cars have been a dream from almost the time the au
 tomobile was invented. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI)\, thi
 s dream has seemingly become reality with driverless commercial operations
  already taking place in a handful of cities around the world. However\, t
 he recent tragic accident involving a pedestrian and a Cruise self-driving
  car\, as well as a number of high-profile Tesla crashes\, raise the possi
 bility that such systems may not actually be as capable as envisioned\, an
 d questions have arisen about their safety both nationally and internation
 ally. Given these concerns\, it is important to step back and analyze both
  the actual safety records of these vehicles and just why AI is struggling
  to operate safely under all conditions in autonomous vehicles. This talk 
 will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of AI in self-driving cars\, a
 s well as in all safety-critical applications\, and lay out a roadmap for 
 safe integration of these technologies on public roadways.\n\nCo-sponsored
