Real driverless cars are now legal in China's tech hub Shenzhen | TechCrunch - 0 views

  • The regulation, which is set to take effect on August 1, grants permission for autonomous driving vehicles to operate without a human in the driver’s seat
  • The rules also define the thorny issue of liability. When the vehicle is equipped with a driver, the driver will “be handled” by the transportation authorities in case of traffic rule violations and incidents. But if the car is completely driverless, the owner or manager of the self-driving vehicle is subject to handling by the authorities. If the accident is a result of a defect in the connected car, the owner or manager of the car can seek compensation from the manufacturer or vendor.
  • Major autonomous driving players in China have all opted for a lidar-based route instead of one that relies purely on vision tech like Tesla.

Holy Crap, Self-Driving Cars Are Now Legal in California - 0 views

  • Just moments ago, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into effect SB1298, effectively paving the way for driverless cars in California. For a state that relies more heavily on cars than any other, this is hugely significant when it comes to traffic and road congestion.

    What would it mean for museums if indeed the next generation buys fewer homes and cars?  My first thought is a struggling construction and auto industry - and will that affect donations/sponsorships... but I'm sure there are more ramifications (let's make sure we have ample bike parking and bus stops!)...

STANFORD: Robotic block party puts new high-tech creations on... | www.ktvu.com - 0 views

  •  
    I went to this great open house yesterday on campus, "Robot Block Party." Everything from the Nasa robotics team to amateur tinkerers frankensteining robots in their backyards. A couple people from the Exhibits team at the Cal Academy showed a kinect-powered robot they had been tinkering with as a side project, where - their idea - would be to put the robot (with a camera) on the roof, and you'd be able to "drive" it using the kinect inside the museum. And of course, there was the self-driving race car, complete with the ubiquitous Stanford parking sticker.
