He'll also be bringing along a friend – SpotMini, a long-legged quadruped capable of a wide range of autonomous actions.
"However, I do think it's important more investment and research is put into a wider range of autonomous vehicles, including public transport vehicles and smaller, demand responsive shared vehicles, to highlight future opportunities that aren't car-focused".
For a wider range of autonomous vehicle brands and choices, consumers will have to wait until at least 2020.
Intel's investment focus has spanned a range of industries, from autonomous driving, to medical tech, to climate change research and more.
Aurora, despite officially breaking cover only just last year, is already working with a range of automakers on their autonomous driving technology, including Volkswagen and Hyundai.
By hopping the control and data messages through a network that covers large areas, the range of autonomous underwater vehicles can be considerably increased.
A range of instruments was used – including autonomous gliders that measure temperature and water turbulence, and are controlled remotely by someone sitting comfortably onshore – as well as "snowcatchers".
He added that Nvidia is "really excited that AI is having a transformative effect on the automotive industry in general," including in NCAP-certified ADAS systems, since it means Nvidia's AI computers will be in more cars, where they can then perform a range of functions over and above autonomous driving.
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) can be used to increase the operation range of autonomous underwater vehicles.
As the underlying vehicle technologies for AUVs mature, increasing attention is being paid to the development of "smarts", onboard systems used to enhance and extend the range of autonomous operations that can be undertaken.
