Self-driving cars started as a distant dream about 80 years ago. These days, this vision is becoming reality and self-driving cars promise to revolutionize our society by improving our current mobility models, and most importantly, by radically reducing the number of road fatalities.Machine learning plays a central role in the perception and understanding capabilities that these vehicles require to correctly operate, not only under standard conditions, but also at the most unexpected situations.This talk will be around the way self-driving cars perceive the world, the key role that Machine Learning plays in there, and the open perception challenges that remain to be solved to have truly self-driving cars revolutionising our society.
