Google's driverless car | Sebastian Thrun

Translator: Matej Divjak Reviewer: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

As a boy,

Kot fant

I loved cars.

sem oboževal avtomobile.

When I turned 18,

Pri osemnajstih sem

I lost my best friend to a car accident.

v prometni nezgodi izgubil najboljšega prijatelja.

Like this.

Kar tako.

And then I decided I'd dedicate my life

Takrat sem se odločil, da bom svoje življenje

to saving one million people

posvetil reševanju milijona

every year.

ljudi vsako leto.

Now I haven't succeeded, so this is just a progress report,

Nisem še uspel, tako da je to samo poročilo o napredku,

but I'm here to tell you a little bit about self-driving cars.

vendar sem tukaj, da vam povem nekaj o samovozečih avtih.

I saw the concept first

Ta koncept sem prvič videl

in the DARPA Grand Challenges

v tekmovanjih DARPA Grand Challenge,

where the U.S. government issued a prize

kjer je ameriška vlada ponudila nagrado

to build a self-driving car that could navigate a desert.

za izgradnjo samovozečega avta, ki bi lahko prevozil puščavo.

And even though a hundred teams were there,

In čeprav je bilo tam na stotine ekip,

these cars went nowhere.

ti avtomobili niso prišli nikamor.

So we decided at Stanford to build a different self-driving car.

Tako smo se na Stanfordu odločili, da zgradimo drugačen samovozeči avto.

We built the hardware and the software.

Zgradili smo ogrodje in programsko opremo.

We made it learn from us,

Pripravili smo ga, da se je učil od nas

and we set it free in the desert.

in ga spustili na prosto v puščavi.

And the unimaginable happened:

In zgodilo se je nepredstavljivo:

it became the first car

postal je prvi avtomobil,

to ever return from a DARPA Grand Challenge,

ki se je kadarkoli vrnil iz tekmovanja DARPA

winning Stanford 2 million dollars.

in je Stanfordu prislužil 2 milijona dolarjev.

Yet I still hadn't saved a single life.

A še vedno nisem rešil niti enega življenja.

Since, our work has focused

Od takrat smo naše delo osredotočili

on building driving cars

na izgradnjo vozečih avtov,

that can drive anywhere by themselves --

ki se lahko vozijo sami kjerkoli --

any street in California.

po katerikoli ulici v Kaliforniji.

We've driven 140,000 miles.

Prevozili smo 225.000 kilometrov.

Our cars have sensors

Naši avtomobili imajo senzorje,

by which they magically can see

s katerimi lahko magično vidijo

everything around them

vse, kar jih obdaja,

and make decisions

in se odločajo

about every aspect of driving.

o vseh vidikih vožnje.

It's the perfect driving mechanism.

Je popoln mehanizem za vožnjo.

We've driven in cities,

Vozili smo po mestih,

like in San Francisco here.

kot je San Francisco tukaj.

We've driven from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Highway 1.

Vozili smo od San Francisca do Los Angelesa na avtocesti 1.

We've encountered joggers,

Srečali smo džogerje,

busy highways, toll booths,

zelo prometne avtoceste, cestninske postaje,

and this is without a person in the loop;

in to brez osebe v enačbi;

the car just drives itself.

avto vozi kar samega sebe.

In fact, while we drove 140,000 miles,

Pravzaprav, ko smo vozili 225.000 kilometrov,

people didn't even notice.

ljudi sploh niso opazili.

Mountain roads,

Gorske ceste,

day and night,

podnevi in ponoči

and even crooked Lombard Street

in celo po zaviti ulici Lombard

in San Francisco.

v San Franciscu.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Sometimes our cars get so crazy,

Včasih naši avtomobili tako znorijo,

they even do little stunts.

da celo izvajajo majhne akrobacije.

(Video) Man: Oh, my God.

(Video) Moški: O, moj Bog.

What?

Kaj?

Second Man: It's driving itself.

Drugi moški: Sam vozi.

Sebastian Thrun: Now I can't get my friend Harold back to life,

Sebastian Thurn: Vem, da ne morem vrniti Harolda k življenju,

but I can do something for all the people who died.

lahko pa naredim nekaj za vse ljudi, ki so umrli.

Do you know that driving accidents

Ali veste, da so prometne nezgode

are the number one cause of death for young people?

najpogostejši razlog za smrt mladih ljudi?

And do you realize that almost all of those

In ali se zavedate, da je za skoraj vse te

are due to human error

kriva človeška napaka

and not machine error,

in ne mehanska napaka

and can therefore be prevented by machines?

in se zato da preprečiti s stroji?

Do you realize

Se zavedate,

that we could change the capacity of highways

da bi lahko spremenili prostornost avtocest

by a factor of two or three

za dvakrat ali trikrat,

if we didn't rely on human precision

če se ne bi zanašali na človeško natančnost

on staying in the lane --

za ostajanje na voznem pasu --

improve body position

izboljšali bi položaj telesa

and therefore drive a little bit closer together

in zato vozili nekoliko bolj skupaj

on a little bit narrower lanes,

na nekoliko bolj ozkih pasovih,

and do away with all traffic jams on highways?

odpravili pa bi tudi vse prometne zastoje na avtocestah?

Do you realize that you, TED users,

Se zavedate, da vi, uporabniki TED,

spend an average

v povprečju porabite

of 52 minutes per day

52 minut na dan

in traffic,

v prometu

wasting your time

in zapravljate čas

on your daily commute?

zaradi dnevne vožnje v službo?

You could regain this time.

Ta čas bi lahko pridobili nazaj.

This is four billion hours

To je štiri milijarde ur

wasted in this country alone.

zapravljenih samo v tej državi.

And it's 2.4 billion gallons of gasoline wasted.

In 9 milijard litrov zapravljenega goriva.

Now I think there's a vision here, a new technology,

Zdaj pa mislim, da je tukaj vizija, nova tehnologija,

and I'm really looking forward to a time

in resnično se veselim časa,

when generations after us look back at us

ko bodo generacije za nami gledale na nas

and say how ridiculous it was that humans were driving cars.

in se čudile, kako nesmiselno je bilo, da smo ljudje vozili avte.

Thank you.

Hvala.

(Applause)
