"Silicon Valley Link" Mercedes-Benz and LG will collaborate to develop unmanned stereo camera operating systems

In the daily link to the Silicon Valley, the most fresh information! The "Silicon Valley" here refers to the typical and innovative business representatives abroad.

1. Bloomberg: Google, and other voice recognition technology level or super human temporarily not put into use

The current speech recognition technology is not mature enough, it is more mechanical, some obscure words are difficult to discern, and the user's real intention cannot be understood through context, Bloomberg published an analysis. But recent breakthroughs in the field of speech recognition and artificial intelligence have revived a digital neural network technology that has been in existence decades ago. Google is developing a voice system that integrates its massive data on the basis of this neural network technology, which makes speech recognition smarter and dramatically improves recognition quality. In the future, there will be a speech recognition system where the accuracy rate is comparable to or higher than that of humans.

In the face of a bright future of the unmanned vehicle market, Mercedes-Benz also unwilling to lag behind Google and Audi, in Thursday, LG and Mercedes-Benz jointly announced that they are working together to develop a car for the unmanned Vehicle Service stereo camera system.

The entire drone system will use multiple cameras to detect the surrounding driving environment. By computing stereo vision and sensors, unmanned vehicles can collect traffic information, identify hazards, such as accidents, and activate the vehicle's safety system. For example, when the vehicle is about to pass through the sidewalk, if the driver is still in direct response, then through the stereo camera system, the car will stop autonomously.

They successfully used human cells to produce human primordial germ cells that could be differentiated into sperm and eggs. The results will help to understand the root causes of infertility, early embryonic development mechanisms, and even develop new reproductive technologies.

This is the first time scientists have used human cells to produce primordial germ cell.
