Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Vehicles, and the Smart City of the Future

The average speed of traffic through London has not changed since the days of horse-drawn carts. All of the transportation advantages of the past 200 years, from the internal combustion engine to the highway system, haven’t increased the rate of travel. The infrastructure simply can’t keep up with the demands of the populace. But why is this significant?

To truly serve people’s needs now and in the future, cities need to get smarter to cope with a growing population and its demands on city services. Our guest this episode is helping to create the “smart cities” of the future. Dr. Richard Kelley, Chief Engineer of the Autonomous Systems Group at University of Nevada Reno, explores how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things can ease traffic congestion, increase mobility, and make civil services more accessible.
