The also official Intelligence Systems that drive Autonomous Vehicles have to interpret what computer scientists call optical flight. Patterns of light in official seem to identify objects in the truth. Its crucial the optical flow systems get it right almost time. Today. Thats what 3 researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and typically in germany want to determine. This system represents the movement of an object in different colors in different degrees of brightness depending on the perceived direction and the speed its going in. Your car is moving to the right then and then your
