This Image Breaks AI

Self driving vehicles are becoming more popular, but are we ready to share the roads with them? I take a look at the University of Western Australia's autonomous shuttle bus to test the limits of computer vision. Also there are adversarial bananas.

I can’t wait for 2045
Self Driving Patch Notes v2.6.7
- Road line distinguishing improved
- Dynamic Weather Analysis added
- Car will no longer slam the gas when it reads a school zone sign

The unique thing about this guy is the many on screen graphics and varied filming locations that just make his videos 10x more interesting!

[Etropalker]

That vehicle isnt stopping due to any proximity sensors, its just intimidated by the almighty levitating banana.

[tonyolshansky]

AI Recognition Software:
Bro it's fine, it's just a banana. Just go.
Proximity Sensor:
If it's a banana it's a HUGE BANANA oh my god STOP

[tinycup]

Imagine walking next to this guy and hear “this car thinks I’m a banana, so it’s going to run me over”

"Before I recuperate my university fees by committing insurance fraud." Classic

As a human, even after recognising a kangaroo, I still have no idea what it is going to do. They can, and do change direction mid jump.

[mushroomsoup]

Can't wait for the cyberpunk future where we all run around with giant bizarrely patterned sheets over ourselves so that the robocops think we're all bananas and won't report our crimes

[Cyberguy]

Excellent intro to AI. As someone in this field, I have a few comments:
1. For detecting straight lines, the Hough line transform is the better, more efficient approach to use.
2. The RGB values of objects are too dependent on lighting conditions to be useful in most real-world situations. One solution is to convert colors to HSV space and only look at the hue component.

"This pattern should confuse it enough into thinking I'm a banana."

This seems like a good channel

[kiledamgaardasmussen]

The funniest adversarial attack I have ever seen is: a piece of paper with 'iPhone' written on it, incorrectly identified as an iPhone.

That first blobby picture does look like a toaster though, at least that's what I immediately picked up from seeing it in my peripheral vision

[arcticdino]

"Or can spot a lion, hiding away in the long grasses"
Meanwhile the safe and unsafe switch sides.

0:32 ngl this sounds like a train with extra steps

[animusadvertere]

Human “vision” includes a lot of understanding. Think about how hard it was to learn how to drive, even as an almost adult human. And how much concentration it takes to safely drive, especially in difficult and dangerous situations. Good luck with AI!

I really hope you continue this channel after you graduate. You’re a natural.

[BigAdam]

10:49 - "Classified as the pure essence of a toaster"

By the Omnissiah, this is making me harder than terminator armor.

[pbaumgarten]

I was impressed with your dedication to travelling to all the different filming locations around Crawley, Kings Park and West Perth. Great intro to the complexities of vision AI. I'll be sharing with my students :)

2:16 "Wait, holly berries are safe...?" ... "AHA! I knew it!"

Anyone else get this video recommended 4 years later?
