As the UK government is gearing up for self-driving cars from next year with a 100 million pound ($118 million) investment, vehicles with self-driving features will become a common sight by 2025. The government is planning a new legislation which will allow for the safe wider roll-out of self-driving vehicles by 2025. “This enables the UK to take full advantage ...

Researchers from Lehigh University and Columbia University have created DeepXplore, the first efficient testing approach for deep learning platforms used in self-driving cars, malware-detection and other systems. How do you find errors in a system that exists in a black box? That is one of the challenges behind perfecting deep learning systems like self-driving cars. Deep learning systems are based ...
