throw everything out the window and
throw everything out the window and
start<00:01:27.009> from<00:01:27.130> scratch<00:01:27.369> so<00:01:27.850> to<00:01:28.509> test<00:01:28.990> this<00:01:29.200> crazy
start from scratch so to test this crazy

be driven on the real roads so how does
be driven on the real roads so how does
it<00:02:00.490> work<00:02:00.700> well<00:02:01.060> it's<00:02:01.389> a<00:02:01.600> rather<00:02:02.079> complex
it work well it's a rather complex
it work well it's a rather complex
system<00:02:03.060> but<00:02:04.060> let<00:02:04.209> me<00:02:04.299> try<00:02:04.450> to<00:02:04.509> explain<00:02:04.659> that
system but let me try to explain that
system but let me try to explain that
make<00:02:05.229> it<00:02:05.350> simplified<00:02:05.829> so<00:02:06.249> we<00:02:06.700> have<00:02:06.819> three
make it simplified so we have three
make it simplified so we have three
steps<00:02:07.509> we<00:02:08.380> have
steps we have
steps we have
perception<00:02:09.810> computation<00:02:10.810> and<00:02:11.020> non-visual
perception computation and non-visual
perception computation and non-visual

interfaces now obviously the driver
interfaces now obviously the driver
cannot<00:02:14.319> see<00:02:14.500> so<00:02:14.680> the<00:02:14.800> system<00:02:15.220> needs<00:02:15.430> to
cannot see so the system needs to
cannot see so the system needs to
perceive<00:02:16.360> the<00:02:16.510> environment<00:02:16.660> and<00:02:17.260> gather
perceive the environment and gather
perceive the environment and gather

actually<00:03:51.810> a<00:03:51.840> massage<00:03:52.410> chair<00:03:52.440> we<00:03:53.250> got<00:03:53.459> it<00:03:53.580> out
actually a massage chair we got it out
actually a massage chair we got it out
and<00:03:53.700> we<00:03:54.030> rearrange<00:03:54.660> these<00:03:54.840> arriving<00:03:55.380> elements
and we rearrange these arriving elements

the gas and the brake pedal so over here
the gas and the brake pedal so over here
you<00:04:03.900> can<00:04:04.110> see<00:04:04.350> how<00:04:04.680> the<00:04:04.740> computer<00:04:05.490> understands
you can see how the computer understands
you can see how the computer understands
the<00:04:06.150> environments<00:04:06.750> and<00:04:06.870> because<00:04:07.350> you<00:04:07.470> cannot
the environments and because you cannot
the environments and because you cannot
see<00:04:07.800> the<00:04:07.920> vibration<00:04:08.370> we<00:04:08.459> actually<00:04:08.670> put<00:04:08.790> red
see the vibration we actually put red
see the vibration we actually put red
LEDs<00:04:09.540> on<00:04:09.750> the<00:04:09.780> drive<00:04:10.170> grip<00:04:10.350> so<00:04:10.470> you<00:04:10.530> can
LEDs on the drive grip so you can
LEDs on the drive grip so you can
actually<00:04:10.740> see<00:04:10.950> what's<00:04:11.100> happening<00:04:11.430> this<00:04:11.700> is
actually see what's happening this is
actually see what's happening this is
the<00:04:12.000> sensory<00:04:12.360> data<00:04:12.540> and<00:04:12.870> that<00:04:13.200> data<00:04:13.440> is
the sensory data and that data is
the sensory data and that data is

computer so these two devices drive grip
computer so these two devices drive grip
and<00:04:19.440> speed<00:04:19.709> strip<00:04:19.950> are<00:04:20.100> very<00:04:20.310> effective<00:04:20.790> but
and speed strip are very effective but
and speed strip are very effective but
the<00:04:21.270> problem<00:04:21.660> is<00:04:21.810> these<00:04:22.440> are<00:04:22.850> instructional
the problem is these are instructional
the problem is these are instructional
cue<00:04:24.150> devices<00:04:24.630> so<00:04:24.840> this<00:04:25.230> is<00:04:25.380> not<00:04:25.530> really
cue devices so this is not really

freedom<00:04:26.160> right<00:04:26.640> the<00:04:26.850> computer<00:04:27.240> tells<00:04:27.480> you<00:04:27.600> how
freedom right the computer tells you how

to<00:04:27.780> drive<00:04:28.050> turn<00:04:28.440> left<00:04:28.680> turn<00:04:28.890> right<00:04:28.950> speed<00:04:29.550> up
to drive turn left turn right speed up
to drive turn left turn right speed up
stop<00:04:29.940> we<00:04:30.480> call<00:04:30.690> this<00:04:30.750> the<00:04:30.900> backseat<00:04:31.410> driver
stop we call this the backseat driver
stop we call this the backseat driver
problem<00:04:32.010> right<00:04:32.400> so<00:04:32.970> we're<00:04:33.120> moving<00:04:33.630> away<00:04:33.750> from

compressed<00:04:48.990> air<00:04:49.110> comes<00:04:49.380> out<00:04:49.530> so<00:04:50.070> it<00:04:50.160> can
compressed air comes out so it can
compressed air comes out so it can
actually<00:04:50.400> draw<00:04:50.790> images<00:04:51.390> so<00:04:51.780> even<00:04:51.990> though
actually draw images so even though
actually draw images so even though
