What impact will autonomous systems have on the company of
the future? What tasks and jobs will be done by machines – what
impact will AS have on job markets and economies?
● Focus will be the application of autonomous systems in the industry
and current projects. (deep insights from the perspective of the
automotive industry)
● Problems of integrating academic frameworks (i.e. roCK & ros) into
industry applications
● hypothesis: The impact of autonomous systems will be limited in
some industries. (i.e. chemical industry etc.)

dr. Patrick-Benjamin Bök, Vice President Global Factory digitalization &
Intelligence, Weidmüller Group
Accountability and Limitations of Autonomous Systems – How far
can we go?
● how much error tolerance can we live with for real-world and safety
critical applications?
● For example, as we continue to test self-driving vehicles and number
of disengages are dropping and systems are improving, do we tend to
over-trust the software?
● There is a trade-o between pushing for adoption and risk of pre-mature
technology? what is the best course of action?
● would we ever be able to rely completely on the software? how will
we be able to start trusting the algorithm just like a human?
● how can we strive for better transparency in the industry and not rush
towards an unsafe solution?

we.CONECT: In regards to autonomous systems
technologies, where do we stand now from a
technological perspective? What level of autonomy
can be reached today?
Douglas Chey: Fully autonomous cars will be on the road in a
few years but I do not believe they will be safer than humans on
public roads for many more years. There are several reasons
for this. The compute, network, and storage resources, as well
as the algorithms, are all in their infancy and that creates areas
of concern. What about the “school’s out” problem? When
the school bell rings, and everyone just pours into the street.
Autonomous vehicle processors cannot effectively handle that
kind of problem in a quick fashion. The answer in that situation,
as it is all too often for autonomous vehicles, is just to stop the
vehicle. humans can edge forward and make decisions for
what to do.
we.CONECT: What are the biggest challenges in the
autonomous machines space?
Douglas Chey: one big issue is that autonomous vehicle
systems are only at a level of sophistication of drawing 3d
blocks around objects. I think it will be very important for the
technology to improve the algorithms so that bodies become
more like bodies and less like stick figures in the “eyes” of the
computers driving the cars. Given my gaming background and
that most technology is built on gaming technology (hardware
like nVidia, software like havoc, etc.), I feel like autonomous is
still in the age of Pong and we need at least space Invaders
in tech. luckily for hyperloop one, we don’t control the
entire environment or have to deal with a very heterogenous
environment. we build and control the equivalent of the cars
and the road and the city and the signals, so our level of
variables is smaller. we can get away with a Pong.
we.CONECT: How and which industries will be impacted
by the development of autonomous systems and
intelligent machines technologies and why?
Douglas Chey: The great question is: will there be more cars
or fewer cars? I have heard arguments for both, that with more
autonomy and more direct-to-destination requests we’ll need
more cars on the road. But I also know that there could be a
lot fewer cars if more people take up ride-sharing. As a person
who is not a millennial, I love my private space, so I won’t be
contributing to that trend. you can be reasonable certain that
autonomous cars will impact urban infrastructure in unplanned
ways. An autonomous car may drive down the street in the
exact same location over and over again and wear down the
street in one place. I also think that street lights will disappear
at some point because the cars won’t need them.
we.CONECT: Tell us a little about your presentation.
What will be the focus and key points of your
presentation?
Douglas Chey: Cities in the not-so-distant future will be
swarming with clouds of connected vehicles. That’s great, but
what happens between those cities? It’s an information and
service gap. That’s where we come in. hyperloop one plans
to build the „range extender“ for autonomous urban mobility.
Let’s say you’re in your office in Berlin and it’s your wife’s
birthday and you want to take her to this great new gastropub
in hamburg for dinner. six o’clock rolls around and you tap
your phone, an Uber picks you up at your office, drives home
to get your spouse and off you both go to the Hauptbahnhof
hyperloop one portal (our term for station). your self-driving
uber has already contacted the portal via hyperloop’s
“autonomous vehicle interface” or AVI, and just as you arrive
at the portal, your hyperloop pod is waiting for you (or, better
yet, your uber slips right into the hyperloop itself). security
and authentication and payment are all settled in the backend
via the AVI. your pod accelerates gradually to airline speed
and arrive at the hamburg portal in 20 minutes. your uber
drives right out of the hyperloop portal and straight to your
dinner. It’s direct, autonomous, ultrafast intercity travel and
the doors only open twice, once to let you in and once to
let you out. The closest thing to teleportation. or a private
jet experience for the price of a bus ticket. That’s the long
term vision. we obviously have a ton of engineering work to
do and doug will bring your attendees up to speed on our
engineering progress and milestones reached to date. our
plans for the hyperloop AVI and platform also incorporate
other data services such as vehicle-cloud supply/demand
forecasting, rebalancing of connected vehicles between cities
(imagine ubers or lyfts taking themselves between Chicago
and st. louis when there’s a big rock concert or baseball
game), pricing information sharing and emergency/urgent
care. As Fedex taught all of us, the information around the
package is as important as the package itself. same goes
with autonomous vehicles and their passengers.
we.CONECT: Any projects/people/technologies that have
inspired you lately?
Douglas Chey: I think what’s going on around autonomous
vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicles is pretty cool.
The vehicles are being developed now, but I think there’s a
growing consensus that they won’t get past regulatory approval
for at least 10 to 15 years. The issue is safety – things fall out
of the sky at high speed – and the need to coordinate a lot of
regulatory and software systems among the airlines, consumer
drone manufactureres, and the new autonomous VTol
systems makers. I think autonomous ground-based vehicles
will get full regulatory approval long before VTols will be able
to fly in the same airspace as everything else.
we.CONECT: Which burning questions or challenges
would you like to discuss with the Autonomous
Machines community?
Douglas Chey: I want to talk about how people are
thinking through privacy and information sharing across the
autonomous space. I’d like to know how people are address
multi-modal stations or centers, where cars, metros, bikes,
hyperloops, and everything else can come together as a
transfer point to create a better passenger experience.
we.CONECT: Thank you for very much for this interview!
