Skule(TM) Lunch & Learn: Preparing self-driving technology for Canadian winters

Wed January 15, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

U of T Engineering alumni, join us for this monthly series. Learn about exciting research in diverse subjects from U of T Engineering professors.

Self-driving cars are closer than ever to everyday use, but unpredictable weather is a major roadblock. From degraded senor inputs to machine learning challenges, these cars struggle to keep up with the ever-changing conditions of the road.  

Imagine if self-driving cars could operate safely anywhere, no matter the weather.  

Join Professor Steven Waslander as he dives into his research aimed at preparing autonomous vehicles for the toughest elements. Discover how his team is advancing perception in adverse weather and developing neural networks that can predict their own limitations. This “self-awareness” is key to smarter, safer decisions and real-world adaptability. 

Don’t miss this glimpse into the future of weather-ready autonomous vehicles! 

Virtual: A Zoom link will be sent to all guests who registered.

Cost: Free
