Uber despot: poached by United States robots at CMU University scientist lab 40%-Uber, robots, AI-IT information
From several large technology, auto giants such as Google, Mercedes-Benz's performance seems to be driverless car is not far away from us, but not everyone agrees that driverless cars already have the ability to replace human drivers. Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Laboratory Director, robotics and Herman Herman thinks of commercialization experts, a driverless car is far away from us. Herman on February 23 last year as the post of the Director of the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Laboratory, prior to this, Uber-picking 40 of 100 scientists in the laboratory.
Uber was cooperation with the robot laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, but they want to set up a research center devoted to the development of drone technology, and poaching action has been taken. Pittsburgh, this is Uber tested unmanned why Volvo XC90 SUV.
Herman Herman said Uber let engineers followed the unmanned prototype for a reason, not just for security reasons but driverless car technology from the Uber goals you want to reach "so far away".
Technically speaking, Herman said not sure Uber technology is mature enough, allows driverless cars on the road. He thinks Uber did, is because of the need to get public praise of the driverless car technology, as well as other non-technical reasons.
Most importantly, Herman thought to develop a complete 80% of the driverless car is "easy", if the signal is very good weather, GPS positioning, road sign set.
But the problem is it is difficult to realize the rest of 20%, because it requires a vehicle can be performed without GPS location signals, bad weather and automatically or without road signs.
While humans have the potential to achieve the above goals, but today's unmanned vehicles could not reach this standard.
Which is driverless cars in California is so eye-catching performance reasons, because California has only the bright sunshine and rain in two days. From this point of view, Herman point is very valid.
Uber霸气：挖走美国CMU大学机器人实验室40%科学家 - Uber,机器人,人工智能 - IT资讯
从几大科技、汽车巨头如谷歌、奔驰的表现来看，似乎无人驾驶汽车离我们已然不远，但不是所有人都认为无人驾驶汽车已经具备了取代人类司机的能力。卡耐基梅隆大学机器人实验室主任、机器人及商业化专家Herman Herman就认为，无人驾驶汽车离我们还很远。Herman于去年2月23日开始担任卡耐基梅隆大学机器人实验室的主任一职，在此之前，Uber挖走了该实验室中100名科学家中的40名。
Uber当时与卡耐基梅隆大学机器人实验室有合作，但他们想要在匹兹堡市成立一个专门用来开发无人驾驶技术的研究中心，于是就采取了挖人行动。这也是Uber在匹兹堡市测试无人驾驶沃尔沃XC90 SUV的原因。
Herman Herman表示，Uber让工程师跟着无人驾驶原型车是有原因的，不仅仅是出于安全考虑，而是无人驾驶汽车技术目前距离Uber要达成的目标“还很遥远”。
从技术方面讲，Herman表示不大确定Uber的技术是否已经足够成熟，可以让无人驾驶汽车正式上路。他认为Uber这么做，是因为需要获得公众对无人驾驶汽车技术的赞誉，以及其他一些非技术原因。
最重要的是，Herman认为要开发出完成度在80%的无人驾驶汽车很“容易”，只要天气、GPS定位信号非常好，道路标志设置合理。
但问题是要实现剩下的20%就非常困难，因为这需要汽车可以在没有GPS定位信号、天气恶劣及或没有道路标志的情况下自动行驶。
虽然人类有可能实现上述目标，但如今的无人驾驶汽车还达不到这一标准。
这也是无人驾驶汽车在加利福尼亚州的表现如此抢眼的原因，因为加州只有明媚的阳光和下雨两种天气。从这个角度来看，Herman的观点就很站得住脚了。
