Safety assessment of autonomous vehicles using simulations by Ketki, Chaudhary

“…Since the past few decades, researchers from both automotive and technology industries have focussed their attention on developing vehicles that could drive themselves, so that travel would be less challenging, free from human driver errors and the roads safer for everyone. Self-driving cars are envisioned as robots capable of precise driving, never getting distracted, abiding to all the traffic rules and being able to compute the probability of an imminent collision well in advance. …”

What We Should Do Before the Social Bots Take Over: Online Privacy Protection and the Political Economy of Our Near Future by Graeff, Erhardt

“…U.S. states have passed laws to address self-driving cars on public roads (Marcus 2012). And nearer the subject of this paper, the legality of search engine bots (web crawlers) has been openly questioned on grounds of intellectual property protection and trespassing (Plitch 2002). …”

Towards robust sensing and recognition : from statistical learning to transfer learning by Yang, Jianfei

“…Secondly, current domain adaptation methods require careful manual hyper-parameter tuning, which is not realistic for unmanned systems such as smart cars. To stabilize the training of adversarial domain adaptation, Max-margin Domain-Adversarial Training (MDAT) is developed in this thesis to realize stable convergence without cumbersome manuals. …”
