The US multinational corporation General Motors has already announced the first self-driving car for the coming year; Saarland’s scientists are also researching this new vehicle type. Hence, “Autonomous driving in the region and beyond” was the title of the IT theme evening, which attracted more than 60 people on March 15 to the visualization center of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). The Competence Center Computer Science Saarland had organized the evening together with FITT, Saar.is and DFKI.
\nIn the first lecture, Christian M\u00fcller, of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), explained the basics of the technology. Manuel F\u00fcnfrocken from the University of Applied Sciences Saarland presented which infrastructures were necessary for communication between autonomous cars. Professor Georg Borges from the Institute for Legal Informatics at Saarland University got many laughs with his talk about the legal perspective. In the concluding round, moderated by Pascal Strobel from automotive.saarland, many visitors asked questions on themes ranging from data protection to possible controls. So the complexity, but also the impact, of this new technology became very clear.<\/p>\n

\nWelcome and Moderation<\/strong>
\nGordon Bolduan, Competence Center Computer Science Saarland<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe T\u00dcV for the brains of autonomous vehicles<\/strong>
\nDr. Christian M\u00fcller, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence<\/em>
\nTesting in real driving is not enough to make autonomous driving safe. The talk will show how artificial intelligence will help enable a virtual inspection for autonomous vehicle.<\/p>\n
\nCommunication for the mobility of the future<\/strong>
\nManuel F\u00fcnfrocken, Saarland University of Applied Sciences<\/em>
\nAutomated driving is the future of mobility. An important requirement is the possibility for vehicles to coordinate with each other. The Saarland has a unique starting position here with the test field ITeM.<\/p>\n
\nLegal issues of autonomous vehicles<\/strong>
\nProf. Dr. Georg Borges, Institute for Legal Informatics, Saarland University<\/em>
\nUnder what conditions may autonomous vehicles be used in road traffic? Who determines how autonomous vehicles decide in “dilemma situations”? Who is liable if autonomous vehicles cause accidents?<\/p>\n
\nOpen discussion with the speakers<\/strong>
\nModeration: Dr. med. Pascal Strobel, automotive.saarland \/ saaris<\/em><\/p>\n
\nDrinks and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere<\/p>\n
