If you think that the problem of self-driving cars has been solved, think twice.As a matter of fact, the problem of self-driving cars cannot be solved with the technical solutions that companies are currently considering. Don't get fooled by marketing and PR on social media. Whoever is telling you they solved the problem of driving a vehicle fully autonomously, they are lying.Here is why.

There are many solutions to private machine learning. I am pretty confident when I say that the one we are speaking in this episode is probably one of the most feasible and reliable.I am with Daniel Huynh, CEO of Mithril Security, a graduate from Ecole Polytechnique with a specialisation in AI and data science. He worked at Microsoft on Privacy Enhancing Technologies under the office of the CTO of Microsoft France. He has written articles on Homomorphic Encryptions with the CKKS explained series (https://blog.openmined.org/ckks-explained-part-1-simple-encoding-and-decoding/). He is now focusing on Confidential Computing at Mithril Security and has written extensive articles on the topic: https://blog.mithrilsecurity.io/.
In this show we speak about confidential computing, SGX and private machine learning

How does an autonomous vehicle see? How does it sense the road? They are equipped of many sensors, of course. Are they all powerful enough? Small enough to hide them and make your car look beautiful? In this episode I speak about LIDAR, high resolution cameras and some machine learning methods adapted to a minimal number of sensors.

Companies and other business entities are actively involved in defining data products and applied research every year. Academia has always played a role in creating new methods and solutions/algorithms in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence.However, there is doubt about how powerful and effective such research efforts are.Is studying AI in academia a waste of time?
