Self-driving cars
Details
Dariu Gavrila is visiting Romania and is giving a talk on Self-driving cars.
Over the past 25 years, Dariu has focused on visual systems for detecting humans and their activity, with application to intelligent vehicles, smart surveillance and social robotics. He led the multi-year pedestrian detection research effort at Daimler, which was commercialized in the Mercedes-Benz S-, E-, and C-Class models (2013-2014, PreSafe Brake®) and which currently saves lives and reduces injuries on the road. He now performs research on self-driving cars in complex urban environments and focuses on the anticipation of pedestrian and cyclist behavior. Since 2016 he heads the Intelligent Vehicles group at the TU Delft as a Full Professor.
