Abstract:

For over a century, automobile manufacturers have used the challenge of racing to better understand and improve upon vehicle design. Can the development of autonomous race cars advance the development of driver assistance systems and automated vehicles in a similar way? This talk explores our work with automated race cars at Stanford’s Dynamic Design Lab, identifying the basic challenges of racing and how control systems can handle these challenges. While automated vehicles hold significant advantages in computation and response time, head-to-head comparison with expert drivers shows humans can still teach the machine a few tricks. In closing this gap with the best human drivers, should engineers rely on the physics of motion to better model the car’s behavior, turn to AI to learn directly from data or attempt to blend these very different approaches? The talk concludes with a look at some of our latest experiments, the current state of the art and open questions on the road to the future.
