Researcher: Tesla advertising with “autopilot” is “downright negligent”

Scientists assume that autonomous driving functions will only slowly gain acceptance in special areas. Fatal accidents set the industry back. .

Artificial Intelligence Toolkit Spots New Child Sexual Abuse Media Online

With iCOP we hope we’re giving police the tools they need to catch child sexual abusers early based on what they’re sharing online.

  The toolkit, described in a paper published in Digital Investigation, automatically detects new child sexual abuse photos and videos in online peer-to-peer networks.

The research behind this technologywas conducted in the international research…

駕駛人士都知道要找一個車位非常困難，這並非香港獨有的現象，很多大城市都面對類似情況。有德國設計師就想到改變汽車的設計，減少泊車所需的空間。德國不萊梅 DFKI 機械創新中心早前展示了 EO Smart Connecting Car 2 的設計，這部車有一個特別的外號「蟹」。

這部 EO Smart 的電動車原型日前發佈，雞蛋形車身設計可以坐兩人。它的 4 個車輪均擁有獨立摩打和轉向能力，甚至能夠橫向行駛。最高時速為 65 公里，其電池可以在 4 小時內充滿，並且提供 50 至 70 公里續航距離。

這部「蟹」車的最大特色還是它的伸縮式設計。工程師將 EO Smart 的底盤做到伸長縮短，當後輪向前推，原本超過 2 米的長度就可以縮小約 80cm 至只得 1.5 米。最後整個車身升起，減少佔用路面的空間。整個過程只需 4 秒時間，經過 3 年反覆修訂後，EO Smart 已經做得不錯，但 DFKI 中心指汽車還未能合法在路面使用，因為當則涉及的新科技很多，有關當局對新科技抱懷疑態度。

DFKI Car taught to contract and move the crab (VIDEO)

Center of robotics DFKI Bremen created electric vehicle that can be compressed when parking and moving crab – sideways.

How to optimize parking in congested city that they fit as many cars? Center DFKI Robotics engineers from the German city of Bremen decided to create a vehicle that could be shortened when parking and moving sideways. The result is a machine EOssc2. With wheelbase of the car can be compressed, thus raising the double-body capsule. As a result, 2.5-meter-long vehicle becomes much shorter. Moreover, thanks to the movable suspension all four wheels can rotate up to 90 degrees.

Thus, EOssc2 can move sideways, crab, just squeezing between parked cars. It is noteworthy that the doors lifted up the guillotine in a manner that facilitates the landing-landing in cramped conditions. The movement of the car-crab gives four motor 4 kW – one in each wheel. They fueled lithium polymer battery. The car can accelerate to a speed of 64 km / h, which is enough for city driving.
