Can Driverless Cars Predict How Pedestrians Will Behave?
Grades 7-12
As self-driving cars move closer to becoming a reality on streets and highways, can engineers create software able to predict human behavior and keep pedestrians safe? Researchers at the University of Michigan are working on a solution that may one day revolutionize how passengers get from point A to point B. They’re teaching algorithms that run self-driving cars to analyze pedestrian behavior to predict where a person will move next. Being able to accurately predict a person’s whole trajectory remains a challenge.
