From the 'mouths' of microbes: Novel approaches to resolve the ecological complexity of marine microbial communities

Self-driving cars have the potential to transform how we move: they promise to make us safer, give freedom to millions of people who can't drive, and give people back their time. The Google Self-Driving car project was created to rapidly advance autonomous driving technology and build on previous research. For the past four years, we've been working to make cars that drive reliably on many types of roads. We've now driven over half a million miles autonomously.  In this talk, I'll describe our overall approach to solving the driving problem, the capabilities of the car, our progress so far, and the challenges we face.
