Budget (including currency): $1500, maybe $2000, yes $2000 Country: Bulgaria, what does it have to do with the question? Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mostly self driving, object detection etc. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I think I am an experienced software engineer, self thought, and decided to start a new hobby - build a self driving car from scratch, I mean the software is going to be from scratch, the car maybe second-hand one. The goal is to achieve level 5 autonomy. I need help for building the computer for the car. Can anyone give me some pointers, please?

I want to see autonomous cars fail more.
Mira Yurizaki posted a blog entry in Yurizaki's Tech Ramblings
I came across a YouTube that had a video that explained two points. What causes traffic Why autonomous cars are better I recommend watching at least the first half because it has a few scenarios that causes traffic, some of which are semi-preventable. And you should watch it. And you should apply that to your own driving habits. Anyway, the later half talks about how autonomous cars solve this problem. But if you skip to about 4:04, it shows autonomous cars zipping by each other through an intersection smoothly. And while this scenario does look good here's what I want to know. What if a puppy randomly runs into that intersection? What if someone who's on their iPhone blasting their ears away while catching up with Instagram isn't paying attention and walks into the intersection? What if a tree falls over and blocks half the road? What then? I want to know what happens when autonomous cars fail. They need to fail. We need to know what happens when they do fail. There is no "if", only "when", and the sooner we figure this out and plan for it, the better. -

source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/12/mercedes_autonomous_car_will_run_over_pedestrians/ 1st, what is the Trolley Problem? one interpretation: There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options: (1) Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track. (2) Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person. Which is the most ethical choice? Mercedes' Christoph von Hugo replies: if you find yourself in the path of a Mercedes' self driving car .. well then, better make peace with your maker before it mows you down --- car manufacturers should not be allowed to make decisions like this and the issue should be a matter of law and not individual interpretation

This is a fail on so many levels. When the software detects something is wrong it doesn't alert the driver and the driver is required to monitor messages that appear on a screen at her lap. She shouldn't be required to do something that distracts from driving and even then why put the screen somewhere that requires the driver to look down? When the news initially broke I thought it was the driver's fault for being distracted by at the time what I thought was her cell phone but now I think its uber's fault and she was just doing what they told her to do. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/05/emergency-brakes-were-disabled-by-ubers-self-driving-software-ntsb-says/

(Volkswagen T6, the same VW model as the possible future Apple van, minus the modifications) Apple is mostly known for their phones, tablets, and computers. However, now they are partnering with Volkswagen to make a self-driving transport vehicle for Apple employees. At first, Apple wanted to produce a car completely in-house but that plan was changed to a partnership with a traditional automaker: Similar problems were encountered in talks with the Japanese Nissan, Chinese BYD Auto, and British McLaren. Finally, Volkswagen agreed to work with Apple, possibly due to their trouble compared with rivals in developing a self-driving car. According to the New York Times and two former Apple employees: The issue with Apple entering the self-driving car space is this: Google's Waymo and Uber both have a head start and had more initial experience related to self-driving cars. Google has emerged as a software and AI giant, and at least Uber's business has always been cars. Apple has never made or worked closely with cars, and on the software side, most people3 4 find Siri on iPhones inferior to Google Assistant on Android. Volkswagen will cover the auto side, but can Apple, the creator of arguably 'elegant' and 'intuitive' products, and sometimes mechanically flawed5 devices, create a reliable and intelligent self-driving algorithm? I suppose we'll have to wait and see for Apple to give results.

Yesterday Geroge Hotz (the same guy who unlocked the first iPhone, and hacked the PS3) showed off his prototype of a self driving car add-on that costs less than $1000 and can be installed by anyone. A TLDR of the presentation, but feel free to watch the 20 minute video if you'd like: Costs $999 plus a $24/month data plan Installs in place of your rear view mirror Comma One relies on built-in car front radars and comes with a camera. Currently only supported on Hondas or Acuras with LKAS (Lane Keep Assist System) Like the Acura ILX for example More car models will follow in the future If you live in the SF Bay area you can be in their beta program and get one right now. What it can do today: Once you're on the highway in Mountain View, it will drive you all the way to the San Francisco exit without you touching the, Gas, Brake, or Steering wheel. https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/13/comma-ai-will-ship-a-999-autonomous-driving-add-on-by-the-end-of-this-year/ In addition to that Comma has been ingesting thousands of hours of driving data from ~750 users of their Dash and Chffr apps for Android and Iphone. http://comma.ai/ These apps record driving data from the user's smartphone which is then used to train the AI that is learning to drive "like humans would". I've been following their progress for a while, as well as logging 60+ hours of driving data myself and can say that Tesla has got some fresh competition that is going to be pretty cool once it becomes widely available. I have attached the two press photos of the device, plus a screen capped photo of the "front" of the device for you all to look over. This is a heavily "beta" product, so it's not quite what you'd see on the market but George seems set on shipping this by the end of the year. This was my first post in the Tech News section. Let me know how I can improve in the future. I figured given all of Luke's talk about Tesla, I figured he'd like to see this. Plus since Luke has an Acura, there is a chance he can get one in the near future to play with...

Quick, Hands where i can see em.... Oh boy, this is gonna be a debate, Yep it's happening , Can't trust AI instincts yet, A consumer rights group in the US has urged Tesla to disable the automatic steering function on its Autopilot system as the debate has been sparked by recent deaths & accidents that has been caused while the Automotive was been driven under the "Auto pilot" steering function where the physical driver can literally offload their responsibilities to automated system which will guide their car on the road Consumer reports have a fair point in this case, they believe there's a fine line between being alert & focused on the road with manual driving Versus a different case & a very different level of alertness when it comes to eased up & relaxed auto drive function provided by auto pilot mode, They are completely different & sends two mixed message to those who are driving WHILE switching between these two modes on a route to your destination, your vehicle can drive itself, but you may need to take over the controls at a moment’s notice create potential for driver confusion. It also increases the possibility that drivers using Autopilot may not be engaged enough to to react quickly to emergency situations. The most serious of the Autopilot crashes happened in Florida on May 7. According to the accident report, 40-year-old Ohio resident Joshua Brown died in a collision near Williston, Fla., with a tractor trailer that was making a left turn in front of his Model S. Tesla later acknowledged that the car was in Autopilot mode at the time. On June 30, Tesla published a blog post about the accident, stating “neither Autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied.” Problem arises when semi-autonomous technology is mistook for Fully auton0mous by the consumer who trust the systems intelligence blindly, apparently people are slow to realize this & this puts people in pottential danger to both the driver & those who are riding along with them & the those which system affects as a cause of the accident outside The autop-pilot function has been know to be ineffective under certain conditions & consumers put too much trust on this technology , imo cant blame the AI system (it too technically have blind spots depending on given condition) , but also cant blame people from trusting advertised feature too much(more like we trust the car brakes to work every-time we push down it may not work depending on ones luck/controlled/uncontrolled situation), like i said cant blame people from trusting advertised feature too much , we've been know to do that from time to time, but it it's failing to deliver what it's been promised & is risky & the company is trying to promote a product based on a false & risky hype the system should be disabled, & or atleast automatically disabled off certain off-the grid region where it might be prone to be more risky for autopilot in another statement she said that Companies must commit immediately to name automated features with descriptive—not exaggerated—titles, noting that automakers should roll out new features only when they're certain they are safe. So you guys must have got something to say about this, it's a good topic for discussion & debate , Please leave Your comments & response & do Your thing, Just don't start a gasoline infused flaming shitstorm down there i think auto-pilot vehicle driving needs a separate kind of Licensing along with the regular regulations, for people owning this sort of vehicle, you know special kinda training , nothing too lengthy & complex just short training at-least for them to be certified aware-full trained drivers, "Auto-Pilot certified " driver if you will , not making them jump through tough stuff, like learning regular thing like keeping an eye out for road signs & deranged people swarming onto the roadetc like that, just like different form or vehicle handling license , auto-pilot navigated automobiles should have a different/separate category the driver should pass to handle such test in certain & all terrains Yes Fox it does do great , even without the autopilot.... a few hours later..

On self-driving cars, state takes slow lane Safety the priority, California says By JUSTIN PRITCHARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Posted: February 1, 2016 at 2:30 a.m. Basically car companies and other groups are asking for a dedicated lane on highways for self driven cars. California law makers are touting both sides for information on both the extra safety and the failure rate of what self driven cars bring to the populace. Law makers want to get ahead and start making steps to address possible issues before the cars officially take to the streets. Obviously cars makers and groups dont want lawmakers to go overboard but lawmakers already have a plan to announce their draft in December of this year. As California goes; Thoughts?

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors confirmed via twitter that the company has no plans to produce cars which can't be human-driven. Links; https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/577946471804235776 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/577946893646364673 Based on the kinds of places I've been when high technology fails on me, I don't think I'd want to buy a car that couldn't be manually controlled in some way.

Teslow? Audi, Company division owned by Volkswagen has claimed a speed record for a self-driving car.The German car giant says its RS7 vehicle topped 149mph (240km/h) while driving uncrewed round the Hockenheim racing circuit, south of Frankfurt. It also put a human behind the wheel of the vehicle for a comparison lap. He took five seconds longer to complete the circuit. The RS7 used a combination of cameras, laser scanners, GPS location data, radio transmissions and radar sensors to guide itself around the track, with the data processed by computing equipment that filled its boot. (image below: Computer equipment in the rear of the car used data gathered from an array of sensors) The Experiment marked a high point after 15 years of research by the firm in the US and Europe. However, one industry-watcher noted that a speed test on an otherwise empty racetrack was very different to the day-to-day driving conditions such vehicles would one day experience. You need to make sure they interact with other driverless cars as well as those piloted by humans , you've got to make sure the software absolutely works Prof David Bailey from Aston Business School said. Other car companies including Daimler, Volvo, Toyota, Tesla and BMW are also experimenting with artificial intelligence-directed vehicles, as are other tech firms including Google, Panasonic and Autolive. What your take on this one? Can Tesla can accomplish such a thing? Post your thoughts & rants down beloooooooowww.. Bonus: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29706473
