Keywords

💡Autonomous vehicle

An autonomous vehicle, also known as a self-driving car, is a type of vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. In the script, the speaker discusses the concept of autonomous vehicles, mentioning how they are portrayed in movies and the technology that enables them, such as cameras and sensors, to navigate without a driver.

💡Machine learning

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that provides systems the ability to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. In the context of the video, machine learning is mentioned as a technology integrated into autonomous vehicles to enable them to make decisions similar to a human driver, enhancing their ability to respond to various road situations.

💡Sensors

Sensors are devices that detect and respond to some type of input from the external environment. In the video script, sensors are discussed as a critical component in autonomous vehicles, used to analyze the surrounding area and detect obstacles, which is essential for safe navigation.

💡Mapping technology

Mapping technology refers to the systems and tools used to create and analyze geographical data. The script mentions mapping technology, specifically GPS, as a key element in autonomous vehicles that helps them understand their location and plan their routes. However, it also points out potential issues that can arise from relying on maps, such as the example of a car driving into a river due to outdated map data.

💡Tesla

Tesla is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company that has been a pioneer in the development of autonomous vehicles. In the script, Tesla is used as an example of a company that uses various cameras and sensors in their cars to enable autonomous driving capabilities.

💡Disadvantages

The term 'disadvantages' is used in the script to discuss the potential downsides or risks associated with autonomous vehicles. The speaker mentions accidents that have occurred due to reliance on mapping technology and the challenges of implementing autonomous vehicles in countries with complex traffic systems.

💡Traffic system

A traffic system refers to the infrastructure and rules that manage the flow of vehicles and pedestrians in an area. The script discusses the challenges of implementing autonomous vehicles in regions with poor traffic systems, suggesting that well-controlled traffic systems are necessary for the successful operation of autonomous cars.

💡Hackers

Hackers are individuals who gain unauthorized access to computer systems to steal, change, or delete data. In the context of the video, the speaker raises the concern that autonomous vehicles, being electronic systems, could potentially be hacked, which poses a security risk not present in traditional, manually driven vehicles.

💡Manual car

A manual car is a vehicle that requires a driver to manually change gears using a clutch. The script contrasts manual cars with autonomous vehicles, suggesting that manual cars cannot be controlled remotely like autonomous vehicles, which could be a security advantage in preventing hacking.

💡Future implementation

The concept of future implementation refers to the idea that while autonomous vehicles are a promising technology, there are still many challenges to overcome before they can be widely adopted.

Transcripts

[Music]

my name is V uh sorry I just need to

adjust my mic sounding so yeah let me

start okay my name is V actually uh

today for my week six te Tech seminar

topic I take the topic called automous

vehicle actually you heard it before

right so what is automous vehicle

yeah this only simple meaning a

self-driving vehicle without a driver so

have you ever watched a movies like that

the car driving itself and go around the

cities or Villages yeah but I have seen

because I a movie in the so I watch so

many lot of mainly English movies

compared to Malana movies so I'm a big b

fan also so there I see this fous

Technologies like Iron Man abute made of

full of iron also when I see this Iron

Man and Robert Don Jr's car is always

self driving from parking to where he

stands so that's a great thing also

there are some other movies we can see

in the the movie shows that near future

in the after 100 years we can see mostly

of the cars automous car also okay let

us come to the point actually the whole

concept is that

uh uh I will take the the C situation or

Cent technology we use in these cars

also so when we take uh for example in

Tesla they uses different kind of

cameras not different kinds so many

cameras in the car along with that there

are so many sensors to analyze the uh

surrounding area so not sorry this

camera is to surrounding areas to nearby

find nearby obstacles also at the same

time this uh we they have implemented

machine learning into this car itself to

gather or take action as a real person

so real decision making also uh yeah uh

leader and rer technology so they uses

that for the distance between car and

other obstacles to analyze them also

they uses mapping technology or GPS

technology to uh surround the way the

the car goes so they said is

disadvantages actually what why I

mentioned that so consider we had heard

the news of in our K itself the car fell

into River with the family so the family

survived but the how the car is gone is

because of this mainly GPS technology

mainly our Google Map because on the map

it shows there's a road but due to the

rainy season somehow the there is it's

not Road it's a river so go so consider

because of raining they didn't see the

path so the car fell into the river so

like that AI uses the same mapping

technology or Google Maps to

analyze where they go they can be go to

the same situations so that that's the

what I meant also it's a for the future

it is too good if they try to IM to how

to control these all things also yeah

then uh telling about uh is so

impacts Ina some people will try to be

ride with the driver also but some

people will uh change to this one also

why driver because there will be a

communication rather than we are in this

uh technology or modern technology there

will be a communicator like AI like Siri

in the car itself but we don't know

somehow uh maybe we can really Express

with if there's a real person

right so my point is I will give an

example if there is a mobster mobster or

gangster attacks you while you're

driving in your car or self- driving car

not in your car self- driving car or by

driver so if it's only self-driving car

you are only inside the car how will you

protect so while driving with the driver

you you will be protected by the driver

but it depends on the driver's mind also

so it's a uh small one also this autom

car is too good

consider uh it will create a we need to

have well controlled traffic system

compar to the in USA and India it is

difficult to implement in India itself

because our traffic system is very poor

actually I don't know how will the car

autom car will understand our traffic

technology even though

traffic light is red our bikers or they

are riding the car or bike they don't

look for our uh traffic they sometimes

they follow the rules so actually the

cars itself they follow the rules right

so they did not suddenly stops because

when they comes in front of them so it's

a desc for our India itself so compar

yeah it will take more years to have

Technologies like that to implement to

reduce the traffic system or accidents

over here so compara when we uh compare

the human ridable cars or also this s

driving car uh it will be in the future

it will be less accidents compared to

both yeah other thing is like in the

movies uh I think I watched the movie

called faster fous 88 in there

somehow hackers control the cars from

the using a satellite

because these cars are electronic also

so it can be controlled also so it's a I

don't know it's a because of the

automatic technology in that car it can

be hacked also so if a manual car it

cannot be controll like that it's a main

advantage of manual car and this

sometimes hackers can be hacked into

your automous car also so compared

there's a advantages also at the same

time there's a disant on this automatic

cars so it compar to you but in the

future I think it will be more over 90%

or 70% there'll be only this automous

car yeah these are the points I need to

mention uh now uh these are the points I

get now I think it's better anyway thank

you have a nice day
