Studies and got my masters at Carnegie Mellon. Then i left c. M. U. Joined i. B. M. Research for three years or so and i came back to c. M. U. Because i liked c. M. U. And pittsburgh that much. Peter what kind of things do you work on . Raj i work on what are called embedded systems, the technical term. These are things that embed computers inside them but the user basically uses different devices. For example, your smart phone is a sophisticated device but you dont worry about the components inside there. Televisions, for example, it has a computer inside it but it is meant to be a television. Think about a projector. It. As a computer inside of that toaster that we use on a daily basis that cost 10, it has a tiny computer embedded inside it. These are embedded systems that act smart but its a dedicated device of some other kind. Ive been working on embedded systems since my doctorate and it turns out vehicles that drive themselves are a classical example of embedded systems. So a car

Here, and occasionally fear and occasionally even panic attacks but then they basically watch the vehicle is able to drive, exactly stopping when it should stop. Ts actually riding fairly comfortably with a degree of comfort.
