DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nAI was introduced half a century ago\, shortly afte
 r the first computer ENIAC was invented in late 1940’s. In the past deca
 des\, AI has gained its developing momentum\, and has been greatly changin
 g the world and our lives. Andrew NG\, the former director of the Stanford
  AI Lab\, stated “Just as electricity transformed almost everything 100 
 years ago\, today I actually have a hard time thinking of an industry that
  I don’t think AI will transform in the next several years.” What has 
 made the AI breakthroughs\, what industrial transforms have AI made\, what
  are the current challenges AI is facing\, and what are we expecting in th
 e new decade? Autonomous Driving is one of these areas that AI has been an
 d is transforming – the transportation industry. Since DARPA's pathbreak
 ing Grand Challenge on March 13\, 2004\, it's been almost two decades. The
  transformation was acerated in 2012\, the year when neural networks were 
 introduced to Deep Learning. Since then\, many companies have launched man
 y projects\, such as Google and the Waymo project\, Uber and the Aurora pr
 oject\, and the ambitious projects of the trillion-dollar companies such a
 s Apple\, Tesla\, and many others. What are the challenges these pilot pro
 grams are facing? When will autonomous-driving cars go mass production and
  running on the roads? In his seminar on September 30\, Dr. Song will brie
 f the history of AI and Autonomous driving\, and the challenges we are fac
 ing in the areas. The purpose of the seminar is to introduce the concept o
 f AI and auto-driving\, to extend our knowledge and to develop our interes
 ts\, to inspire questions and to explore possibilities. \n\nBiography:\nDr
