dimensional maps we need to know the
dimensional maps we need to know the heights of bridges after all we don’t
heights of bridges after all we don’t
heights of bridges after all we don’t want our autonomous vehicle or bus to

it’s right and what about weather data what do you
and what about weather data what do you
and what about weather data what do you do when you’re out driving and it starts
do when you’re out driving and it starts
do when you’re out driving and it starts to rain snow or even ice on the streets
to rain snow or even ice on the streets
to rain snow or even ice on the streets you slow down the vehicles and that’s
you slow down the vehicles and that’s
you slow down the vehicles and that’s exactly what we need to secure our
exactly what we need to secure our
exactly what we need to secure our autonomous vehicles to do as well now

let me give you a very extreme example I
let me give you a very extreme example I want you now to imagine yourself being a
want you now to imagine yourself being a
want you now to imagine yourself being a driver of the bus bus full of pensioners
he’s draw you’re driving in a very
he’s draw you’re driving in a very narrow street very busy street in front
narrow street very busy street in front
narrow street very busy street in front of you comes a man with his stroller and
of you comes a man with his stroller and
of you comes a man with his stroller and a child in it you have a choice to make
what will be your choice will you run
what will be your choice will you run straight ahead and that will have
straight ahead and that will have
straight ahead and that will have implications right or when you were your
implications right or when you were your
implications right or when you were your bus towards the building block and that
bus towards the building block and that
bus towards the building block and that will also have implications
will also have implications
will also have implications what will your decision be save the
what will your decision be save the
what will your decision be save the child and a bit on demand father or save
child and a bit on demand father or save
child and a bit on demand father or save the pensioners imagine the decisions we
the pensioners imagine the decisions we
the pensioners imagine the decisions we need to program our vehicles with you
need to program our vehicles with you
need to program our vehicles with you may person when you are driving there’s
may person when you are driving there’s
may person when you are driving there’s not much time for a moral decision it’s
not much time for a moral decision it’s
not much time for a moral decision it’s more a reaction and when we program the
more a reaction and when we program the
more a reaction and when we program the vehicles the vehicle will know exactly
vehicles the vehicle will know exactly
vehicles the vehicle will know exactly when and what to do what it would be
when and what to do what it would be
when and what to do what it would be pre-programmed so what is the decision
pre-programmed so what is the decision
pre-programmed so what is the decision that we will program our vehicles with
so it is complex and how are we going to
so it is complex and how are we going to manage this complexity then
well one of my favorite terms is CQ you
well one of my favorite terms is CQ you have IQ and you have EQ but there is
have IQ and you have EQ but there is
have IQ and you have EQ but there is another term CQ c stands for complexity
you probably heard that the phrase can’t
you probably heard that the phrase can’t see the wood for all the trees right so
see the wood for all the trees right so
see the wood for all the trees right so CQ is about being able to see the wood
CQ is about being able to see the wood
CQ is about being able to see the wood in fact not only to see the wood but
in fact not only to see the wood but
in fact not only to see the wood but also to see that the wood lies beside a
also to see that the wood lies beside a
also to see that the wood lies beside a river and beyond that you have the
river and beyond that you have the
river and beyond that you have the mountain it’s about a helicopter
mountain it’s about a helicopter
mountain it’s about a helicopter perspective and in a global environment
perspective and in a global environment
perspective and in a global environment it’s about a satellite perspective so I
it’s about a satellite perspective so I
it’s about a satellite perspective so I like to see CQ as the ability to connect
like to see CQ as the ability to connect
like to see CQ as the ability to connect the dots I love to connect the dots but
the dots I love to connect the dots but
the dots I love to connect the dots but the dots the information about the dots
the dots the information about the dots
the dots the information about the dots comes from my team so if I am to manage
comes from my team so if I am to manage
comes from my team so if I am to manage my CQ I need to manage my team and in
my CQ I need to manage my team and in
my CQ I need to manage my team and in order for me to get the right
order for me to get the right
order for me to get the right information correct information and
information correct information and
information correct information and honest information from my team is for
honest information from my team is for
honest information from my team is for me to create an environment built on
me to create an environment built on
me to create an environment built on trust and in no blame atmosphere there’s
trust and in no blame atmosphere there’s
trust and in no blame atmosphere there’s no template for developing autonomous
no template for developing autonomous
no template for developing autonomous vehicles we don’t have all the answers
vehicles we don’t have all the answers
vehicles we don’t have all the answers today so we need to know I need to know
today so we need to know I need to know
today so we need to know I need to know both the good news and the bad news if I
both the good news and the bad news if I
both the good news and the bad news if I get to hear the bad and the good news I
get to hear the bad and the good news I
get to hear the bad and the good news I will be able to connect the dots and to
will be able to connect the dots and to
will be able to connect the dots and to see the bigger picture and I will know
see the bigger picture and I will know
see the bigger picture and I will know that we will succeed
so will we succeed I often get to hear
so will we succeed I often get to hear good news and bad news last this Monday
good news and bad news last this Monday
good news and bad news last this Monday i sat with some of my team members and
i sat with some of my team members and
i sat with some of my team members and they share these good news and bad news
they share these good news and bad news
they share these good news and bad news and one person said to me
