Dipartimento di Ingegneria informatica, automatica e gestionale

Autonomous vehicles are the most mature manifestation of AI in the physical world today. Waymo is now serving well over 150K paid public rides every week, without a human driver, across some of the most complex urban environments in the U.S., including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. Getting there required pushing innovation boundaries across a number of fields, including ML computing, advanced sensing hardware, large-scale cloud infrastructure, realistic simulation, and evaluation frameworks. Annie will talk about how Waymo is solving some of these technical challenges, the company’s approach to safety, and how it’s gradually scaling the service to bring the benefits of full autonomy to more people across more places.

 

Annie Cheng is currently the VP of Engineering at Waymo. Before Waymo, Annie served as VP of Engineering at Nauto, a startup focused on professional driver safety. Prior to Nauto, Annie led the engineering team at Yahoo responsible for their multi-billion dollar Web Search and Search Advertising business. Annie holds a BA in Computer Science from UC Berkeley and an MS from CMU.
