Takrat sem se odločil,
da bom svoje življenje

3000
Nisem še uspel, tako da je to
samo poročilo o napredku,
00:37
but I'm here to tell you a little bitbit about self-drivingSelf-poganjanje carsavtomobili.
9
22000
3000
vendar sem tukaj, da vam povem
nekaj o samovozečih avtih.
00:40
I saw the conceptkoncept first
10
25000
2000
Ta koncept sem prvič videl
00:42
in the DARPADAR PA GrandGrand ChallengesIzzivi
11
27000
2000
v tekmovanjih DARPA Grand Challenge,
00:44
where the U.S. governmentvlada issuedizdala a prizenagrada
12
29000
2000
kjer je ameriška vlada ponudila nagrado
00:46
to buildzgraditi a self-drivingSelf-poganjanje caravto that could navigatekrmarite a desertpuščava.
13
31000
3000
za izgradnjo samovozečega avta,
ki bi lahko prevozil puščavo.
00:49
And even thoughčeprav a hundredsto teamsekipe were there,
14
34000
3000
In čeprav je bilo tam na stotine ekip,
00:52
these carsavtomobili wentšla nowherenikjer.
15
37000
3000
ti avtomobili niso prišli nikamor.
00:55
So we decidedodločil at StanfordStanford to buildzgraditi a differentdrugačen self-drivingSelf-poganjanje caravto.
16
40000
3000
Tako smo se na Stanfordu odločili,
da zgradimo drugačen samovozeči avto.
00:58
We builtzgrajeno the hardwarestrojna oprema and the softwareprogramsko opremo.
17

3000
Zgradili smo ogrodje in programsko opremo.
01:01
We madeizdelane it learnučiti se from us,

Pripravili smo ga, da se je učil od nas
01:03
and we setnastavite it freeprost in the desertpuščava.
19

3000
in ga spustili na prosto v puščavi.
01:06
And the unimaginablenepredstavljivo happenedse je zgodilo:

In zgodilo se je nepredstavljivo:
01:08
