We identify which information, bio information things are most important and then you feed those real-time to an autonomous system and that could be a car.
我们识别出哪些信息,哪些生物信息最重要,然后将这些信息实时传送到一个自动系统中,有可能是一辆车。
The goal is that humans and intelligent cars work better together.
目标是让人类和智能汽车更好地协同工作。
One application could be for an autonomous vehicle to sense the humans cognitive state in a military combat setting.
