Autonomous Quotations

The first autonomous cars date back to the late 20th century. But recent increases in sophistication and reductions in cost - reflected, for example, in cheap LIDAR systems, which can 'see' a street in 3D in a way similar to that of the human eye - are now bringing autonomous cars closer to the market.

With any hallucinations, if you can do functional brain imagery while they're going on, you will find that the parts of the brain usually involved in seeing or hearing - in perception - have become super active by themselves. And this is an autonomous activity; this does not happen with imagination.

Melbourne, where I grew up, is one of the street art capitals of the world. Something about discovering freshly painted walls always fills me with optimism; it's autonomous and democratic, and reminds me that maybe people are paying attention after all.

Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws.

Poetry, fiction as novels or short stories - these are autonomous as created by their authors. They should stand on their own, like pieces of furniture that should be judged as to their usefulness, elegance.

Right now, it takes a large company employing hundreds of really smart people to support Internet services. Our goal with this center is to develop technology that eliminates the need for such a large organization, opening up innovation opportunities for small groups or even individual entrepreneurs. We can help do this by applying statistical machine learning - the same technology used successfully in the recent autonomous vehicle grand challenge - to the development of computer systems.

So far, using autonomous robots to make soil measurements is somewhat futuristic. In general, robotics for scouting still has many limitations, including providing them with enough power to operate efficiently for long periods. However, hypothetically, you could mount one of these recently developed sensors onto a robot and if smart enough, the robot could even decide by itself how far away to make the next measurement based on geo-statistical field data.

Based on the assessment of Germany and European Union observers, elections in the autonomous Palestinian areas were basically held in a free and fair manner.

To cut costs and increase efficiency, a number of companies are now ready to move from autonomous to consolidated networks.

President Bush is going to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq. That no longer seems in doubt. The question is: How does he plan to do it? Which troops will come out first? How quickly? Where will they go? Under what circumstances will they be put back in? Which troops will remain, and what will they do? How will they keep a profile low enough to make the Iraqi government seem genuinely autonomous yet high enough to help deter or stave off internal threats? Who will keep the borders secure, a task for which the Iraqi army doesn't even pretend to have the slightest capability? What kinds of diplomatic arrangements will he make with Iraq's neighbors -- who have their own conflicting interests in the country's future -- to assure an international peace?

Over the past 40 years since the Tibet Autonomous Region was established, Tibet has made tremendous economic and social achievements,

Our goal for the Grand Challenge is to prove the real-world feasibility of autonomous vehicles. There is no outstanding technical reason why unmanned vehicles can't be on the road today, ... We believe Team DAD has the answer for legitimate autonomous vehicles in a system that is ready for deployment right now -- the possibilities are endless.

It is a lovely thing to have a husband and wife developing together and having the feeling of falling in love again. That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.

The potential here is enormous. Autonomous vehicles will be as important as the Internet.

Every single time, they'll face the same problem that confronted Neil Armstrong. Any autonomous vehicle has to have the same degree of smarts. Without that, it's very difficult to picture a step-by-step progression of a human return to the moon in 10-to-15 years.

It would be nice to be a bit autonomous again, to enjoy something a bit quiet.

The quotas have been broken down and handed down to all provinces, municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions.

We could prove an epoch-making planetary exploration through autonomous navigation and guidance, and stand foremost in the world in deep space exploration technology.

Autonomous robots alone will be unable to realize those scientific goals in the foreseeable future,

We've created a new set where you get an intelligent brick, motors, and sensors, and you go and build your robot. You go on your computer, program the behavior of the robot, you download it, and off you go. You have created an autonomous working robot.

We had 400 completely autonomous domains, set up and managed by district personnel.

This is a positive for AT&T, ... AT&T... is forming itself into four unique autonomous divisions. Dorman is coming on to handle business services. There are no negatives in this move.

But we are such a large autonomous economic area, comprising a market of some 300 million people, that the impact of developments outside the Euro area on the Euro area are not negligible, but very limited indeed.

Generally, the winning model has been autonomous units, having expertise close to the market, decision-making flexibility and focus to respond to market conditions.

Mine is not an autonomous imagination.
