Self-Driving Cars - Science of Innovation

Sebastian Thrun, a computer scientist at Stanford and Google Fellow, is working on developing safer self-driving cars using AI. Motivated by high accident statistics, Thrun's team aims to revolutionize transportation. The cars use various sensors and AI to gather and process data, making real-time driving decisions. Thrun holds patents for the decision-making systems, not the cars themselves. These innovations could transform commuting, allowing people to use travel time more productively. Self-driving cars have already driven extensively without accidents, and legislation is paving the way for their future use.
