Self-driving cars: Google maps the road to automated vehicles
Author: Janet Odell
Google is spearheading the movement to obtain automated autos on America’s roadways. Self-driving autos are street legal in 3 states, and Google’s fleet has actually jointly logged over 300,000 miles of time on the roadway. Nevertheless, there are numerous barriers in the course of widespread adoption, with legal and moral opposition to the concept originating from all corners. Follow this StoryStream to track the technology’s development as it transitions from experimental testing to customer truth that can save thousands of lives.

Microsoft details File History, Windows 8′s automated backup tool
Author: Tech Blogger
Earlier today, Microsoft posted an in-depth overview of its improved File History backup manager on its Building Windows 8 blog. The utility made its debut in the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and includes several usability upgrades over previous versions that will help it take on Apple’s Time Machine.
In an effort to make things easier for consumers, File History can be activated without having to configure any options. Once enabled, it will copy data from your Libraries and other areas every hour, including previous versions. Microsoft has also centralized the restore interface. If you’re inside a folder that’s already been backed up, clicking the File History button will bring up a dialog window containing backed-up files and each of…

Berkeley Freshman Builds ‘Most Automated Dorm Room’
Author:
You know, for being ‘Romantic Mode’ I feel like something’s missing…
This is a video demonstration (NOT demon-station, which is where you catch the train TO HELL) of Youtube user dereklmy’s automated dorm room at the University of California Berkeley. If you only watch the first two minutes of the video you might think the automation is limited to opening the blinds and turning lights on and off. But eventually it gets to various modes he’s preset, including a romantic mode (complete with Elton John’s ‘Can you Feel the Love Tonight?’) and an emergency party button that turns on the strobe and blacklights and starts blasting techno and shooting laserbeams. Man, I would party in there. No, no I wouldn’t. But I would romantic mode in there. Even if my roommate was only pretending to be asleep.
Hit the jump for the video but skip around because five minutes is way too f***ing long for anything but the best compilation videos.

No Need To Fear This Face-Tracking Automated Suspicion Generator, Citizen
Author: Laura Clark
We’ve written about computer vision and facial recognition many times before, and recently one of the issues that has come up has been that all the cameras in the world are generating more visual data than people can watch. I wrote about Kitware’s intention to create “behavior recognition” in camera systems, and this “Questionable Observer Detector” seems like it would be a nice complement to it.
You’ve heard, no doubt, of security cameras that snap pictures of your face as you pass and compare them to a central database of smugglers, terrorists, and other baddies. The trouble is that unless these people are already known, the system can’t really detect them. So a team of computer scientists at Notre Dame decided to put together a way for a database to be built on the fly.
The camera would analyze footage, recording the time and place of every face in it. Later, while looking at different footage, it would compare the new tracking data to the old, and see if anybody has shown up twice. Someone passing by the same corner five times in a week would be normal, but someone coming and loitering in an airport ticketing area twice a week for a month might be something to look into, regardless of whether that person’s face is in any databases or connected with any crimes.
It’s a bit scary, but so is the problem it’s meant to combat: the kind of criminal who only needs one chance to commit a terrible crime — like a suicide bomber. They’ll never be in any databases for obvious reasons, but have a habit of checking out targets a few times before they attack.
Sure, it’s also the kind of thing that a police state would love to have in their arsenal. But someone had to invent it sooner or later.

NHK’s automated, animated sign language translator adds gestures to subtitles (video)
Author: Nancy Kennedy
We’ve seen quite a few devices designed to help hearing impaired users communicate via phone or computer, but Japan’s NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories has just announced a new animated translation system to help get important news to deaf viewers . While televised subtitles may work for those who understand the language, people who were born deaf and learned sign language from an early age can have significantly more difficulty. NHK’s system, unveiled at Technology Open House 2011, bypasses this problem by automatically comparing Japanese text to sign language, converting equivalent words into animated onscreen gestures, and replacing differing words with appropriate synonyms. There are, however, a few kinks to work out. While comprehensible, the translations aren’t exactly fluent and researchers have been forced to manually adjust some awkward transitions between words. The ultimate goal is to create a system that could be used during emergencies or natural disasters, allowing deaf citizens to receive urgent broadcasts as instantly as their hearing compatriots. You can see it in action, after the break.

RFID poker gets DIY kit, automated card counting now available at home (video)
Author: Melissa Shroeder
When Andrew Milner built himself an RFID-equipped poker table and the automated video overlay system to match, it was certainly a labor of love. Now, like any good poker player, he’s trying to get a little money out of it. He’s selling a DIY kit that includes almost all the hardware and software you need to replicate the video below but do it on your game night with your friends. (You’ll need to supply the webcams, a table with cutouts, and a Windows PC to handle the footage.) This means you can create video replays that look awfully professional even if your ability to calculate odds on the fly and to focus more on the river than the bowl of chips is decidedly amateur. Components can be bought individually, like a deck of RFID cards for $ 148, or you can get the entire kit for about $ 1,600 — stakes a bit too high for our game.

Automated Road Trains: More Than Cars, Less Than Robocars
Author: Dave Adams
Automated vehicles are coming. That’s for sure. But until a computer can really be trusted with the lives of everyone on the road, there will be some intermediate steps that may improve mileage and traffic. The SARTRE system (Safe Road Trains for the Environment, not the best acronym I’ve seen) uses a road train system where cars would follow each other closely, guided by a human-driven front vehicle.
Most of what you need to know is shown in the illustration above. The trouble, of course, is that you’d need a hell of a lot of “lead” vehicles in order to accommodate demand. And the long stretches of two-lane road wouldn’t be navigable, since these immense road trains would be hazardous to pass.
It’s still an interesting idea, and it’s based on existing or realistic technologies, so it could be built. But I don’t think we’ll be seeing this one any time soon, unless your city or county has spare cash to pay hundreds of convoy leaders.
