Unlocking Autonomous Mobility

Published: 05 November 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Autonomous cars are expected to dramatically redefine the future of transportation. When fully realized, this technology promises to unlock a myriad societal, environmental, and economic benefits. From a technical standpoint, autonomous cars pose significant challenges. An autonomous car needs to perceive the world around it, it needs to maintain a precise geographic context of its location, it needs to predict the future state of all dynamic agents, and finally, it needs to plan its own trajectory to progress to its destination.
In this talk, I will discuss Lyft's mission to build the world's best transportation network and how autonomous cars play a key role in realizing it. I will then present our approach to building autonomous cars breaking down the technical components, digging deeper into perception, prediction, planning, and HD Mapping. I will also discuss our efforts to democratize access to autonomous technology to the broader academic community through the release of open datasets and hosting academic competitions. With this, I hope to share insights into the motivations, challenges, and technologies for autonomous cars from the perspective of an advanced industrial program.
