Peter what kind of things do you work on . Raj i work on what are called embedded systems, the technical term. These are things that embed computers inside them but the user basically uses different devices. For example, your smart phone is a sophisticated device but you dont worry about the components inside there. Televisions, for example, it has a computer inside it but it is meant to be a television. Think about a projector. It. As a computer inside of that toaster that we use on a daily basis that cost 10, it has a tiny computer embedded inside it. These are embedded systems that act smart but its a dedicated device of some other kind. Ive been working on embedded systems since my doctorate and it turns out vehicles that drive themselves are a classical example of embedded systems. So a car

A ride. Hop in. Whats the main reaction you get from people riding in the car with you . Raj the typical reaction is one of anxiety and angst. Here, and occasionally fear and occasionally even panic attacks but then they basically watch the vehicle is able to drive, exactly stopping when it should stop. Ts actually riding fairly comfortably with a degree of comfort. We learn more about the move to selfdriving cars and professor raj rajkumar at the lab where his experimental car is kept and worked on. Dr. Raj rajkumar, whats your job here at Carnegie Mellon . Raj im a professor of electric engineering and robotics at Carnegie Mellon. Host howd you get into that . Raj i did my post graduate studies and got my masters at Carnegie Mellon. Then i left c. M.

Mingus coloradus and his interactions with u. S. Troops. His talk is about an hour and is sponsored by the kansas city public library. My name is eli paul.

Also keep those names in mind. Maybe not the faces. The people may reappear as paul hutton tells us about our war with the apache tribes, americas l
Next on the communicators a conversation on selfdriving cars. The candidates were back on the campaign trail following last nights president ial debate. This week the communicators goes to pittsburgh to talk about selfdriving cars. We take a ride in the Autonomous Car that the university is developing. Host we will talk to the communicators of Carnegie Mellon. What is this . Guest we are looking at a cadillac suv from 2011 which is capable of driving itself so its a selfdriving cadillac. Host if you look at the card looks pretty normal from here. Guest that is the car where it that we literally bought new from the cadillac dealership and bo did a bunch of censors and computers and it drives itself. Host do you want to give us a ride . Guest i would be happy to give you a ride. Hop in. Host what is the main reaction you get from people writing in the car with you .
