Missy Cummings vs Elon Musk | Best Bits

Описание: In this clip, Missy Cummings talks about why her name always appears next to Elon Musk's in the press. She explains that while she is a huge fan of Tesla's disruptive tech, she and Elon have started to "cross proverbial swords" over the safety of full self-driving or autopilot in his vehicles. In this clip, Missy says that "his desire to drop radar out of his cars and go to vision systems only" in their self-driving is: "crazy".

In episode thirteen of The Robot Brains Podcast we meet Mary "Missy" Cummings, former US Airforce fighter pilot and Professor at the Duke University Pratt School of Engineering. Missy tells us her incredible story moving from the theatre of war to the laboratories of computer sciences and explains how she became one of the chief proponents in the movement to ensure AI-to-human (like autonomous vehicles) interactions have stricter safety controls. During her chat with our host Pieter Abbeel, Missy also talks about her non-feud feud with Elon Musk and Tesla's autonomous vehicles, the role of AI and robotics in the military and how AI robots need to be built with human-centric safety controls.
