After years of anticipation, autonomous vehicles are now being tested on public roads around the world. Dozens of startups have sprung up alongside established auto and tech giants—which are also testing the waters—to form what many hope will be a transformative new industry. But as innovators rush to cash in on what they see as the next high-tech pot of gold, some experts warn there are still daunting challenges to overcome—like how to train computers to make life-and-death decisions as well as humans can. NOVA peers under the hood of the autonomous vehicle industry to investigate how driverless cars work, how they may change the way we live, and whether we will ever be able to entrust them with our lives. NOVA Look Who's Driving premieres Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 9 p.m. ET/8C on PBS.How can we train artificial intelligence to be better than humans at making life-and-death decisions? How do self-driving cars work? How close are we to large-scale deployment of them? Join us for a special screening of this fascinating documentary followed by our panel of pioneering company leaders and academic experts who will tackle not just these technical issues, but some of the potential economic and social implications.
