Have to measure a lot of things including the firing angle, engine speed, transmission speed, pressure, air flow, voltage. For batteries you need to measure voltage current. Temperatures. If you add all of the sensors together, i would say hundreds and typically 100 microprocessors. They are already getting this standardwith car. Now we are talking about adding more technology to interact with those. We are at the beginning of making cars intelligent enough to cooperate with other vehicles. Has been yourwhat biggest frustration in this project . That ismy biggest a tough one. Very complicated problem, not just limited to technology. Because after all, technologies must be doing something good for the society. Otherwise, we probably should not be doing it. We need to interact with so many different people, companies, government, students and so on. To bring the awareness to the society is very tough. I would not say i am frustrated, it is a tough job. It certainly takes more than what i used to do which was as professor and just doing my own research and teaching. Now, i actually have to branch out to many other aspects. But i am enjoying every minute of that. Behind you we have a map of a test track. That is called m city. May be something people dont agree with what it is the worlds first personally built automated and connected vehicle test facility. It is 32 acres. We designed it to emulate the real world. But we use a small footprint. Only 32 acres. We try to include a very rich driving environment. Not only the pavement type, we have 17 different lights. Lights, 17reet different types. If you look closely at even the parking meters, they are all different. Angle parking, parallel parking. We try to emulate a railroad crossing. Underpassemulate and situation and tree canopy. Using such a small footprint, we try to imagine all of the challenging driving conditions for connected and Automated Vehicle technologies. Has it been a worthwhile investment . Unimaginableen publicitys. I am not exaggerating if i say that we have been visited more than 500 times in a year. We just had a grand opening on july 20, 2015. And we have hosted probably more than 500 visitors. We have lost count. The secretary of transportation, anthony foxx, governor rick snyder. What have you learned . At theu gotten benefits Mobility Transportation Center Transformation Center for your m city . This is a small test facility. We are trying first to understand how individual anicles interact with individual infrastructure device. We try to extend it beyond. Has takeny that advantage of this facility is ford. They have demonstrated the idea omy. Ocalled snowton meaning they can drive in snow with no driver even when the road is fully covered white snow. They argue that this is the first time that anyone has reliably demonstrated that technology in the world. When you see some of the things that are going on here and some of the research you are doing, at what point will we be using this technology on a regular basis . Professor some of the technologies have already been put into production vehicles. End cars,y these high lexus, mercedes, acura. The number will keep increasing. Many people try to give a 2022, and so020, forth. In our view, we think the technology itself may already be almost ready. You can already have a driverless vehicle in a Recreational Park or in an industrial region with very welldefined environment and traffic. You can already deployed an Autonomous Vehicle pretty reliably. But if we are thinking about a car that can drive itself, facing glaring sunlight, heavy snow, in very complicated traffic conditions, sometimes it we jokingly say beijing or mumbai then we are probably a few years away. But depending on how challenging the scenario is that we are talking about, we are almost ready. But it is not just the technology. We need to figure out if the government regulations or the traffic rules, safety rules, insurance, and whether it the rules are in place so the vehicles can already be deployed in the real world clearly understanding who is going to pay for the insurance for any crash. Lagginge probably behind compared with the technology. Host what about security . Hacking . Is that being baked in . Professor that is being considered because cars are now being connected. Behind the years internet, interconnecting pcs. We know the internet is under constant attack. We know that hackers are trying to steal trade secrets, government secrets, or money from the bank. So, there will be hackers that continue to attack the internet and there will be hackers trying orattack Automated Vehicles connected cars. We understand that. The technology we are trying to onld in to protect cars are par or similar to what people have been deploying to protect the internet. Host what about privacy . Professor a good question again. We understand that people do not want to be constantly watched, where they are, every moment. The relative position to other cars would be important for safety but there are ways of hiding the privacy by using a security certificate. In other words, you do not really need to be associated even a license plate. Today, we are associated with a fixed license plate. That in the electronic world, your id can be refreshed regularly. You can imagine either days or yourevery few hours, electronic license plate will be refreshed. Case, it is actually protecting your privacy in terms of where you are, by having a fixed license plate. In some case, it is actually protecting your privacy in terms countries like london, people say there are hundreds and thousands of cameras. Your whereabouts is already in the Public Domain even though it digging through those video streams to know exactly where you are is very hard but you have a fixed id. Countriesin the connected vehi, we can have a refreshed id. Arguably, security is different. I would not say it is better. It is different for sure. The u. S. Ally, where is where is detroit when it comes to developing this technology opposed to beijing, tokyo etc. . Professor people have been trying to deployed Intelligent Systems to solve realworld transportation systems. In terms of solving real problems, many countries are making Real Progress in particular in the field of connected vehicles. Lead. S. Is probably in the in the sense that we have a very clearly defined spectrum. Dedicated for road Vehicle Safety application. Standards are already being defined by aaa and sae. In that sense, the u. S. Is ahead. Europe has been investing a lot demonstrationment projects. Their investment is ahead of the u. S. Most of their projects are smaller. For example, our demonstration project we could have 100 cars. Maybef them have dozens, 100. That is their level. On the other hand again, their demonstration project technologies, the investment is very healthy. So i would say that it is hard to say if the u. S. Is ahead or europe but it is a friendly competition for sure. Chance ofas a better that is what src. The dot is trying to do. The federal multi Vehicle Safety standard is now being reviewed. If passed, it would require all of the vehicles to have the src. And that would be the worlds first. Europe is not likely to pass that with so many European Countries and brexit in play and japan is simply not ready to do that. China is still thinking about it. So i would say with this u. S. Is ahead. Debbie explains more about Card Technology ii. Approach your work as an engineer or a consumer . Debbie both. Be a good engineer, you understand what your Consumers Want and you need to make it easy for your consumers to and the understandable. There is a balance between function and the human factor interface. Host as we drive to the next site, what has surprised you most . Every how far it actually transmits. The specifications that you need to transmit a minimum of 300 meters, and we have found that it goes way beyond 300 meters depending on the geometry. It is pretty much line of sight but your line is huge. Right here in this area, it is pretty much 300 60 degrees. If i am in and as curve sci rve it can s cu only go so far. With this structure, with the wires, when we are testing, we put it over a canopy. It simulates a tree canopy. If you are going on a treelined street and you are going under another type of tunnel. We do not keep it out every day because we want to keep the order. Nt in good working typically, it will look like Little Leaves going across. When you go under, you lose your gps signal. You can test how well you maintain the gps, for how long and how quickly you recover. When you talk about gps, you are talking about satellites . Yes. Gps and we are in fact upgrading our devices. Which really takes our system, the american version of the gps and adds more satellite. Instead of just having our satellite, there is a bigger set of satellites that would be more accurate. We have perfected the four wheels and the airconditioning in the car but now they are becoming very sophisticated. Theext week him of communicators talks with the president of audi of america.

Thank you so much for joining us. So the sentencing project released a report earlier this month looking at felons and the right to vote. What were the overall findings . Guest the broad finding is that 6 Million People will not be eligible to participate in the election next month not because they dont necessarily care about the outcome but because they have a current or previous felony conviction depending on the state in which they live they are prohibiting from voting. The largest number weve seen in any point in history. Host what are the states in which felons Voting Rights are most affected . Guest in two states maine and vermont no one is affected. Even in prison you can vote. But in 48 states you cant vote while youre in prison and 4 of those states you also cant vote while on probation or parole. And in 12 states you may even be denied the right to vote after youve fullly completed your sentence in many cases for the rest of your life. Host the report breaks out just which states have which kinds of voting restrictions. In maine and vermont states that have no restriction at all. Some who restrict only those currently in prison include hawaii, illinois, indiana, massachusetts, some others New Hampshire pennsylvania, places where there will be key battlegrounds this year. Those who are either in prison or parole who are barred from voting include california, colorado, connecticut, new york. As you said, 18 that also include probation, those on probation lose their Voting Rights, a great number there as well as some who even after all sentencing and probation is complete are no longer able to vote and that includes virginia. In virginia the governor there made efforts to change this. Can you talk about that. Guest virginia is one of the lifetime ban states. In virginia you can be an 18yearold you have a firsttime felony drug possession conviction. You get sentenced to a Treatment Program which you complete success thri and yet youre prohibited from voting for the rest of your life unless you get a pardon from the governor. Earlier this year the governor decided to restore Voting Rights to an estimated 200,000 people fully completed their sentences. He did this in a broad sweep. Republicans in the state legislature challenged this. It went to the state supreme court. The court said that the governor had the right to restore rights on an individual basis but could not do it enmass. So since then governor has vowed to restore rights doing it individually. So far hes done it to about 13,000 people and hes committed to doing the remainder in the months he has in office. Host statement from the governor. Hillary clinton also weighed in on this tweeting. Might we see this happen in some of the other states . Irgetsdz we could see this happening. Florida is really the most extreme in this regard. Nearly 1. 5 Million People are disenfrance chiesed. People who have completed their sentence but cannot vote. We saw some years ago the governor in that state has enomples power in determining what the process is for restoring rights. When governor charlie kris was republican governor six or eight years ago, he opened up the process so that people convicted of a nonviolent felony had an almost automatic restoration that was possible and he restored the rights of more than 100,000 people then. By as suck succeeded governor rick scott who closed that almost completely. So its very dependent on the individual sitting in the governor seat in those states. To felon oring rights to vote and the impact of that. The numbers are on the bottom of your screen. In the report it breaks down who is majority, 51 are post sentence. The folks who have already served their sentence and are off probation with those in prison making up 22 . Those on parole 8 . And 18 of those on probation. Talk about the effect of that. Hese lifelong bans on voting guest think about it when a person comes home from prison. We say to them ok youve done your time in prison. Now you take on the responsibilities of any citizen. We expect that you will get a job and support yourself, pay taxes, take care of your children. And by is the the way, youre still a secondclass citizen. Were not going to permit you to participate in the process. Now, this is a very harmful moment. Not only for the person but for society. Its in our interests when people come home from prison that they engage in productive activities in the community. We want them to feel some stake in the outcome of their community. And we say to them we dont want you to participate in the elect ral process, a fundamental element of democracy. I dont see where that helps anybody in terms of Public Safety issues let alone democracy. Host d. N. A. From ohio. Dan calling in from ohio. Guest ok. Caller please i believe this is part of the penalty. I believe some of these people that commit felonies, they may have shot somebody, they may have robbed somebody. You give up some of your rights when you go and prosecute that kind of a crime. Then theyre going to be able to vote for the candidate thats easiest on criminals. That may want to let these people out of prison. The people that are the victims dont want that. We want them punished. And if they commit that kind of a crime, this is part of the punishment. Host lets let mark respond. Guest when you commit a crime, certainly a serious crime, you are punished. That frequently includes prison. We dont normally take away peoples fundamental rights of citizenship also even if youre sitting in a prison cell you can get married or divorced. You can buy or sell property. You can write a letter to the editor. Its a very different story when talking rights of a citizen from what punishment is. And as for the idea of who theyre going to vote for, thats pure speculation. But in terms of the candidate who is going to advocate softer punishment for people who shoot and kill and things like that, i dont see a lot of candidates running on platforms like that. So theres not much of a danger there, really. Host we saw Hillary Clintons reaction to the governors efforts to give Voting Rights to those who have been convicted of crimes. Donald trump in august also addressed the governors moves. Lets take a look at what he said. Hillary clinton is banking on her friend on getting ousands of of violent felons to the voting booths in an effort to cancel out the votes of both Law Enforcement and crime victims. They are letting people vote in your virginia elections that should not be allowed to vote. That is sad. So sad. Host whats your reaction to that . Guest i spend a lot of time in prisons. Talking to people incars rated, some extent the guards. When you talk to people in prison i hear a broad range of opinions about all the issues Americans Care about. Taxes, abortion, wars. The range of opinions i hear is very similar. And contrary to what mr. Trump is saying and other people may believe, people in prison are not pro criminals in favor of crimes and things like that. They mostly recognize theyre being punished for the harm that they did. They understand the laws of society. This is not a criminals voting bloc as some people portray it. These are people paying a steep price in many cases for the harm theyve committed. They want to come back into the community and be good citizens again. Host judy from massachusetts. Against am totally people in prison voting. I think once theyve served their time and they have been rehabilitated then i have no problem with them voting. I have been attacked as a female. The person did go to jail. He has served his time. He is out. I actually have seen him in my area. And i dont have a problem with it. But he has served his time. Let them vote. They had time to get their rights back. Host massachusetts is one of the states that after release that Voting Rights guest people get that right. We have seen United States policies in this regard are quite extreme by international standards. Just as our incarceration policies are, too. If you look at other nations some of them disenfranchise people while in prison. Many dont disenfranchise anyone. They certainly never think about doing it aft you serve your prison terms. So were very much out of line with current thinking about what participation looks like. Host lets look at the report how the rates have changed over the years. In 2016 you have a map which shows the level of disenfranchisement of voters in prison with the highest concentration being in florida and mostly in southern states. Just a few years ago, in 1980 ere was a lot fewer rates of disenfranchisement. There was no stated that had more than 10 as there is now. Talk about what has driven that increase. Guest a couple things. Mostly weve had an explosion in our criminal Justice System in the last 40 years or so. The prison jail populations now seven times that of what it was in 1970. So as the numbers under super vision grow, so do the numbers of disenfranchised people. On top of that, particularly in the southern states, they first the high rates of incarceration but also more restrictive policies on disenfranchisement. So take a state like florida as the population with a felony conviction grows and those people may be done with their sentence at the stage or 30 or 35 and yet may live to 75 never being able to vote. So the numbers just keep on exploding. Host were talking with marc mauer of the sentencing project, also formerly a consultant. About the prison population disenfranchisement of prison the prison population in this election. Springfield, virginia on our independent line. Good morning. Aller good morning. Id like to hear mark comment on the restoration of Second Amendment rights. If he considers those to be as equal to the rights to restore Voting Rights. And if he has a sense as to how voters would vote either democrat or republicans, the ratio. Guest in terms of Second Amendment gun rights, i think the rationale behind depriving people of their rights to have a gun if they have felony conviction has been a Public Safety rationale. Whether or not you agree with that in all cases the idea is that if people demonstrated they may be a risk to Public Safety then we should think twice before letting them have access to a firearm. When were talking about Voting Rights, were talking about citizenship, about democracy. Its not a Public Safety concern that people will have the right to vote. So i think there are two very different kinds of prohibition that is were talking about. In terms of who these people would vote for, many people have speculated looking at the demographics of the prison population these tend to be lower income people, more heavily people of color, its interesting to think about that. I think its basically irrelevant. We should be talking about this issue based on fundamental questions of democracy and fairness. If you think about 100 years ago when women gained the right to vote the question was not would they be voting democratic or republican. The question was they were citizens of the United States. And fairness dictated that yes of course they should have the right to vote as well. So i think thats the key issue that i think we want to keep in mind. Host you mentioned the effects on particularly on African Americans who had a felony convictions in the report it points out the current rate in 2016 which is greater than that of the general prison population. Across the country. And in particular the report says African American disenfranchise rates in kentucky, tennessee, and virginia now exceeds 20 of the adult voting age population whereas only nine states disenfranchise at least 5 of their African American adult citizens in 198023 states do so today. Whats 1980, 23 states do that today. Guest were seeing the exploding population. Its disproportionate effect on people of color, particularly African American. Theres been a wealth of documentation about the drug war and how thats essentially targeted low income communities of color. Not necessarily because theres more drug use going on, because thats what Law Enforcement policies and sentencing policies have brought us. In addition, we know that disparities in the Justice System then translate into disenfranchisement disparities. And the implicit bias and allocation of resources, all of these add up to much higher rates for African Americans. Host southern pines, North Carolina on our democratic line. Good morning. Caller good morning. My comment on this subject is hat even though they committed a crime, theyre still u. S. Citizens and they just because they did that crime they dont lose all their rights. They should be able to still vote. Host ok. Guest just a little more on the International Perspective there. There have been Constitutional Court decisions in a number of countries canada, south africa, israel talking about the right to vote. In south africa in the mid 19910s just after apartheid was finally done away with, one of the very first decisions that came out of there Constitutional Court has to do with the right to vote and the right to vote of people in prison in a very moving opinion by the court. And heres a country that certainly has understands democracy. Thats very keen and very sharp. They said everyone is a citizen in this country. We sometimes punish people by putting them in prison. But theyre still citizens of our country. Host up next, brad from international falls, minnesota. Republican line. Caller good morning. Ive got to say that our country is sick. And for anyone to be pushing this issue about felons getting to vote, theres something wrong with you. Deeply wrong with you. We are a country of laws. If you dont want to abide by the laws then there is a punishment. But for people to think that we should not abide by laws, youre wrong. You are dead wrong. Electing o be done by the least capable to produce. Host lets letmark respond. Guest of course we have to abide by the laws. Thats how the country is founded. But when we talk about voting, when we make their conviction a character requirement, say these are bad people, i think thats a very slippery slope. When i turned 18 and stedgestered to vote nobody asked me if i was illegally drinking alcohol, nobody asked me if i was speeding when i was driving on the highway, nobody asked me if i got into fights with people in bars or anything like that. We all get to vote in democracy. And if we start imposing a character test, i think very quickly were not going to have very many people left who pass all the high standards we might impose. So you either vote or you dont vote in democracy. I think our tradition of over 200 years increasingly says everyone should participate. Host paul from maine, democrat who has a felony conviction. Good morning. Caller good morning. Im glad that im allowed to speak very briefly after the last caller. I got in trouble once in my entire life, never prior and never since. It was 30 years ago. I committed a felony. The word felon tends to conjures up an image in a lot of peoples minds of a violent criminal. There are a lot of felonies in the United States that are nonviolent crimes. In fact, when i was younger anything involving over 1500 as a felony. I understand that i broke the law. And i understand there should be consequences. But ive worked and paid taxes my entire life. I never got in trouble prior to that, and i never got in trouble since. I had two years probation that i sailed through. Im a lawabiding citizen. And i would just like to say that it doesnt take as much as you think to get a felony on your record in the United States as you might think. So dont think that all felons are violent criminals with a gun in their hand or a rapist. Theres a lot of good people out there that made a mistake once, a nonviolent crime, that really might not have been all that serious but the way the laws are written yes it was a felony. Host lets let marc respond to that. Hes in maine. Guest thanks very much. Its obviously a very important point, too. Again, theres some people who have been convicted of a felony. Many people we know teen aged boys, girls, do lots of crazy things and stuff. Some of them could be considered felony. Taking goods out of a store, unfortunately, is rather common. Driving under the influence of alcohol, unfortunately rather common. Many people do those actions and dont get caught doing it. Yet they could have been convicted of a felony. The vast majority of people grow out of those behaviors when they start in their 20s and 30s, they become adults, they may tour and the like. Again, if we start basing voting qualifications on a character test, i dont know an awful lot of people who would meet that bar. Depending on where that was set. Host do any of the states that bar either current or prior convicted felons from voting, do they differentiate between kinds of offenses that might trigger that prohibition . Guest there are a couple of states that do that. Mississippi and alabama are two of them. Alabama is currently under litigation because alabama says if its a crime of, quote, moral terp tude, unquote, theres a long basically racist history behind that and who decides what a crime of moral terp tude constitutes. Theres no clear definition. I think it makes the definition even murkier than it already is if we have vague definitions like that. Host jeanette from western new york. First of question is all when youre in prison i dont think the availability to vote should be yours. Maybe when youre out and you havent been convicted of another felony. That may be something that we could look at. But while youre in prison, you should not be able to vote because youre in there and the consequences are youve done something wrong. So youve got to pay the consequences for your actions. And some people dont get caught. But that doesnt mean that when you are caught that youre in the limelight there. Youre the one that committed the crime. St lets let marc address that. How do people who are allowed to vote in prison do that . Guest in the two states that permit it they do it by absentee ballot. So its if theyre a College Student away from home but they vote in their home district. The prison officials in those stace report no problem when doing this. Heres another way to think about the people in prison. 95 of them are coming home some day. They may be coming back in a year, 20 years, but they are coming home. Its in our interest for Public Safety purpose that is those people come back with good skills, attitudes, connections. If we encourage them to get involved in the elect ral process while theyre in prison, thats one way of demonstrating and feeling you have a stake in your community and the outcome of what goes on and the like. It doesnt replace everything. You need a good job, a place to live. But the more that when we can get people connected with positive institutions in the community i think that makes all of us safer as well. Host carol from florida. Independent line. Good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you so much for taking my call. Im reading on a bureau of statistics, its quite interesting. Three out of four prisoners are found in 30 states are arrested within five years of release. Then it says the findings are based on the bauero of Statistics Data collection eresidivism of prisoners released, which sample of former prison inmate in 30 states for five years following their release. During five years after release the prisoners in the study were arrested about 1. 2 million times across the 16th of 16 of released prisoners who are responsible for nearly 48 about 42 prisoners were either not arrested or no more than once in five years of release. Host all right. Guest there is a high recidivism rate for people who go to prison. Whattells us a lot about happens when you go to prison. Prisons have bloated in numbers. Resources were always limited and become even more limited as the numbers go up. Yes, we need to deal with educational deficits, Substance Abuse problems, Mental Health problems, although of which pla gue the prison system across the country. The resources to address this are very thin. It is sad, but not surprising we recidivism. Ate of it tells me that people are coming back to the communities. Do we want them to be more or less prepared to do so legitimatel . Host according to the sentencing project, theyre just over 6 Million People who cannot vote based on a felony conviction. On your website, you have an interactive page that breaks it down statebystate see you can see how your state compares to the national average. Talk a little bit about that. The laws that determine the criteria of voting are based on the states. The states are granted those rights. That is why we have states like vermont on one end unwarned and and other states on the other. Around sinces been the country was founded. The impact has never been greater than today. Can behat information found on the website. Chad is calling. Someone with a felony conviction. Good morning. Caller how are you doing . Host good. Go ahead. Caller basically, i just think all of them are not in prison for violent crimes. At the end of the day, they still have family and family members out there whose vote affects them. I think they should be able to vote in order to add on to the number of votes for the the democraticy, party or the third party. Not everyone is in prison for a violent crime. Even dople do not anything. Host can i ask you, are you urrently on probation or parole . Caller yes, i am on probation. Host in georgia, that is a state that bans anyone on voting. N or parole from large numbersre of people who are disenfranchised. If you think about it, voting is a communal activity. We talk about elections coming with our family members. If you have a community where large numbers of people are unable to vote, you will have. Ess be ripple effects may substantial and here. Substantial here. Host have they weighed in on folks who have conviction struggle guest there was a that usesurt decision a thumb the conviction as criteria. The have also been challenges to laws that seem to be blatantly racist and their intent. The alabama law was one of those. Some states, literacy requirements were being established. Some states tinkered with laws exclude black voters. If you are convicted of killing your wife, you would not lose your right to vote. This was based on strange practices of the time. Host marvin is calling in with a felony conviction. Caller thank you for having me on. Know, they would not give me housing for six wanted to seethey me work for six years. I looked at the lady and said, how is that possible . This is like days after i got out. An apartment. It is like double deputy jeopardy, you are paying twice for crimes you committed. Not saying that you should not pay. Who people vote for is still going to affect me because im out. Let marc mauer respond. People often are followed for their lifetime. You may be denied employment based on your background. Ing may have problems gett housing. Some of it is societal stigma, some of it is policy. Countercases, it runs host you are on with marc mauer. Caller i think, if you are a citizen, you should be allowed to vote. Not everyone in jail is guilty, and not everyone out of jail is innocent. If Hillary Clinton is allowed to vote, everyone should be allowed to vote. You could be sitting in a prison cell in the most maximumsecurity prison and write a letter to the washington post, and might get it published. You are exercising your freedom of speech. Lettery, getting a may be more influential than the vote you cast. Host the report shows how the impact on the voting population has increased over the decade. Do you see, according to the laws, a continuation of the trend, placing more restrictions efforte, or is there an to rollback . States like new mexico have completed their sentence. Maryland have extended rights. Most of the movement has looked at a reexamination of the policies. In many cases, they are much too extreme. Policy has been signed into law by democratic and republican governors. It is an encouraging sign that policies have been around. From gary is calling in indiana. Good morning. Caller good morning to the United States. This, i think, is very important. I just heard on the Television Prison isn the state there is marijuana charges. In the state prison, 75 are there for marijuana charges. Bonaparte said it was wonderful because there is no hangovers from smoking it. Host lets let marc mauer address the issue of marijuana conviction. Guest the report there are important issues to analyze. The figures you give are not correct. There are large numbers of people with marijuana offenses. Most of them are in there for selling marijuana. We can debate whether it is a good idea or not. The numbers are nowhere close to what you are saying right now. Host david is calling with a felony conviction. Good morning. I have two questions. What is the actual constitutional law that allows people to vote . Second, since we are citizens, taxes, if we take this to the supreme court, with these laws be considered unconstitutional .
