Podcasts about can bus

For the Season 13 finale, Elixir Wizards Dan and Charles are joined by Spin42 Engineers Marc Lainez, Thibault Poncelet, and Loïc Vigneron to discuss their work retrofitting a 2007 VW Polo and creating an Open Vehicle Control System (OVCS). Using Elixir, Nerves, and Raspberry Pis, the team is reimagining vehicle technology to extend the lifespan of older cars and reduce waste—all while making the process approachable and open source. The Spin42 team shares the technical details behind OVCS and how they use Elixir and Nerves to interact with the CAN bus and build a Vehicle Management System (VMS) to coordinate various vehicle components. They dive into the challenges of reverse engineering CAN messages, designing a distributed architecture with Elixir processes, and ensuring safety with fail-safe modes and emergency shutoffs. Beyond the technical, the team discusses their motivation for the project—upgrading older vehicles with modern features to keep them on the road, building an open-source platform to share their findings with others, and above all-- to just have fun. They explore potential applications for OVCS in boats, construction equipment, and other vehicles, while reflecting on the hurdles of certifying the system for road use. If you've ever wondered how Elixir and Nerves can drive innovation beyond software, this episode is packed with insights into automotive computing, hardware development, and the collaborative potential of open-source projects. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Retrofitting a 2007 VW Polo with electric engines and modern tech Building an open-source Vehicle Control System (OVCS) using Elixir and Nerves Leveraging Elixir to interact with the CAN bus and parse proprietary messages Designing a Vehicle Management System (VMS) to coordinate vehicle components Developing custom hardware for CAN communication Creating a YAML-based DSL for CAN message and frame descriptions Building a distributed architecture using Elixir processes Ensuring safety with fail-safe modes and emergency shutoffs Using Flutter and Nerves to build a custom infotainment system Exploring autonomous driving features with a ROS2 bridge Developing remote control functionality with a Mavlink transmitter Testing OVCS features at scale with a Traxxas RC car (OVCS Mini) Challenges of certifying OVCS for road use and meeting regulatory requirements Encouraging community contributions to expand OVCS functionality Balancing open-source projects with contract work to sustain development The fun and fulfillment of experimenting with Elixir beyond traditional applications Links mentioned: https://www.spin42.com/ https://nerves-project.org/ Quadcopter https://github.com/Spin42/elicopter https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils https://docs.kernel.org/networking/can.html https://github.com/open-vehicle-control-system/cantastic https://github.com/commaai/opendbc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANbus#CANFD https://comma.ai/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANFD https://webkit.org/wpe/ https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r35.4.1/DeveloperGuide/text/SD/WindowingSystems/WestonWayland.html https://buildroot.org/ https://vuejs.org/ https://flutter.dev/ https://github.com/smartrent/elixirflutterembedder https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/ The Rabbit Pickup https://www.hemmings.com/stories/value-guide-1980-83-volkswagen-pickup https://www.expresslrs.org/software/mavlink https://industrial-training-master.readthedocs.io/en/melodic/source/session7/ROS1-ROS2-bridge.html https://github.com/ros2/rcl https://github.com/open-vehicle-control-system/traxxas Contact Marc, Thibault, and Loïc: info@spin42.com Special Guests: Loïc Vigneron, Marc Lainez, and Thibault Poncelet.

Mit der Entwicklung des CAN-Bus hat Bosch schon im letzten Jahrtausend das digitale Rückgrat der Autoindustrie geschaffen. Doch auf diesen Lorbeeren kann sich der Zuliefergigant durch die Anforderungen bei Chips, KI und Entwicklungstempo längst nicht mehr ausruhen. Wie Bosch damit umgeht, klären wir mit dem CTO der Mobility-Sparte, Mathias Pillin.

Cobb Tuning has just released their NexGen Flex Fuel for the 2015 - 2021 WRX, which comes after the release of their first NexGen Flex Fuel kit for the Sti. We were definitely glad to see Flex Fuel come back as a function of the Cobb Accessport, but when we saw that the new system was running through the CAN Bus on these new cars, it was clear that there was a lot more that Cobb had to rework to make Flex Fuel available again. We were able to sit down with Lance and Billy from Cobb Tuning to go over everything that was involved in getting Flex Fuel back on line, and the processes that they go through when developing a product like this. We also talk about the benefits of running E85 and Flex Fuel as well as touch on some of their future plans for this system as well. Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

This week on the show I share a case study on a 2017 Subaru Forester that has an Eyesight warning message. It turns out that the fuse is blown, but when installing a new fuse, the entire CAN BUS goes down. Join me to find the source of the problem.  Website- https://autodiagpodcast.com/Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/223994012068320/YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@automotivediagnosticpodcas8832Email- STmobilediag@gmail.comPlease make sure to check out our sponsors!SJ Auto Solutions- https://sjautosolutions.com/Automotive Seminars- https://automotiveseminars.com/Jarhead Diagnostics- https://www.jarheaddiag.com/L1 Automotive Training- https://www.l1training.com/Autorescue tools- https://autorescuetools.com/     

Join Helge Hornis and Cory Ockunzzi as they discuss the new Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with CANopen interface. This sensor is an addition to the IMU with J1939 interface. Helge and Cory will also explore the differences between dynamic applications that require an IMU and static applications where an inclination sensor can be used. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why can't you tune any ECU however you'd like or fit any aftermarket ECU to your vehicle without a care in the world?Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inRyan Nicholls Powertune Australia answers these common questions and more in relation to what can be done with the right skill set and tools, in this case, MoTeC's M1 Build and knowledge of C# (C Sharp) development language.Some key takeaways from this chat include some insight into CAN Bus, LIN Bus and FlexRay, plus the fact that reflash tuning is not equal for all platforms, and some are much better developed than others. Ryan also mentions how you are often relying on an interpretation rather than an absolute when it comes to reflash tuning software vs the lack of OEM information, as well as sharing encouragement from Ryan for anyone interested in learning the skills he has to do so, even at a hobbyist level.This interview was recorded at GTR Fest Australia, where we somehow managed to film more about EVOs and MoTeC ECUs than GTRs, and had a ball doing it too.

Apparently, if one were so inclined you could replace or reprogram your digital odometer fairly easily because security is not something that is built into car software. How was that for a sentence? 3 adverbs at once. Ouch. Know what else hurts? Drowsy driving. It's under-reported and dangerous. Autonomous driving modes also seem to be dangerous as we see in our Blue Cruise discussion. Maybe we should all stay awake and engaged instead of napping and hoping the car will drive itself to the Piggly Wiggly. Plus we dig into the CAN Bus (that's the lack of security around the software in your car.)This weeks links:https://apnews.com/article/ntsb-ford-blue-cruise-crash-investigation-texas-18db4b71d698c5e4575370df6b09c49dhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/other/ford-s-bluecruise-hands-free-system-is-the-subject-of-ntsb-probe/ar-BB1k6zdhhttps://newsroom.aaa.com/2024/03/aaa-fear-of-self-driving-cars-persists-as-industry-faces-an-uncertain-future/https://aaafoundation.org/drowsy-driving-in-fatal-crashes-united-states-2017-2021/https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/kansas-car-dealer-indicted-for-rolling-back-odometers-as-cases-surge-nationwide/ar-BB1k86grhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/18/new-orleans-bus-explosion-children-savedhttps://www.spokesman.com/stories/2024/mar/18/as-washington-lawmakers-pass-on-lowering-limits-fo/https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24E023-5231.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V191-7561.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V196-5030.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V201-8194.PDF

The CANopen redundant rotary encoder features magnetic and photoelectric sampling systems with up to 30-bit multiturn resolution in one housing. Each system has its own microcontroller, compiler, and software module so they can operate independently, each with its own node ID in the CANopen system. This dual technology is known as diverse redundancy; it eliminates the possibility of common mode failure. There is no rechargeable battery; both systems can measure absolute position in de-energized mode. This CANopen redundant encoder is essentially two encoders in one housing, which are connected to the safety PLC via a single cable, making it easy to install and integrate into a safety system. The rotary encoder can be used with all accessories for 58 mm encoders—including mounting aids, couplings, measuring wheels, torque rests, as well as cable pulls and guide pulleys. The aluminum housing, the solid or recessed hollow shaft made of stainless steel, the degree of protection up to IP67, the temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C, and the axial and radial shaft load of 40 N and 110 N respectively enable use under harsh conditions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Direct injection has many benefits for OEM applications, but it isn't as easily customised as port injection options on some platforms. Why is this the case, and what can we do about it?Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inDue to the nature of direct injection and how it operates in a GM application, it simply isn't a matter of adding aftermarket injectors and turning up the fueling like we often can with port injection, given that DI fuel pumps in GMs LT engines are camshaft driven. Michael Sitar of TooHighPsi has an option for GM LT V8 owners that can take the LT1 and LT4 variates beyond their 600hp and 700hp ceiling imposed by the stock direct injection system without dealing with camshaft complications, and that is done by adding port injection and tapping into the factory GM ECU's CAN Bus data stream.At this stage customers are up in the 1400hp regions with some drag applications with plenty of margin left in their injector duty cycles for future development and additional power potential.

Kevin and Dale are back and talking about canbus logger updates, cracked frames, tractor progress and more!Thanks for Listening!

This week's EYE ON NPI is a new spin on an old familiar classic, it's Arduino's UNO R4 Minima and R4 WiFi Boards (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/arduino/uno-r4-minima-and-r4-wifi-boards) now in stock at DigiKey for folks who want a 5V microcontroller board with classic UNO-compatibility but a ton more speed, flash and RAM! The UNO R4 comes in two flavors, the Minima (https://www.digikey.com/short/r70jbj93) is low cost, only $20, whereas the UNO R4 WiFi (https://www.digikey.com/short/qj072pnm) is $27.50 and adds WiFi and BLE via an ESP32-S3 plus a cute monochrome LED grid for scrolling messages or displaying status icons. This pair of dev boards look just like those classic Arduino boards you probably learned to code and hack on, they've been around for almost 20 years, the first board looked very similar, but had a RS232 serial port instead of USB, and all through-hole components (https://blog.arduino.cc/2021/12/09/one-board-to-rule-them-all-history-of-the-arduino-uno/). Through various iterations and improvements, the original board was redesigned to add USB and update to the ATmega168 with the Diecimila (https://docs.arduino.cc/retired/boards/arduino-diecimila) and then the ATmega328 plus auto-power-switching Duemilanove (https://docs.arduino.cc/retired/boards/arduino-duemilanove) in 2009. In 2010 the most popular Arduino to date was released, the UNO, which updated the USB port to use an ATmega16u2 and through various small revisions added the IOref pin to allow 3V power/logic and separate I2C pins since A4/A5 were no longer always connected to a TWI peripheral. Since about 2012, which was the release date of the UNO R3, not a lot has happened with that particular configuration/shape. Arduino the company has released a ton more boards but in different form factors, all available at DigiKey: Nano, Due, MKR, Portenta etc. (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/arduino) and you should definitely check them out! But it's also a big deal when the main workhorse of the family gets a respin. Particularly since the new R4 takes a very different direction than the previous UNOs: instead of just upgrading the atmegaxx8 chipset, Arduino has gone with the totally different ARM Cortex-based RA4M series which we've covered on a previous EYE ON NPI (https://blog.adafruit.com/2023/05/25/eye-on-npi-renesas-ra4m1-microcontroller-series-eyeonnpi-digikey-renesasglobal-digikey-adafruit/) In that video we covered a lot about the chip itself so check it out if you're interested in the specifics of that chip family. The chip itself is a similar family to the ARM Cortex M0-based SAMD21 'Arduino Zero' (https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/arduino-zero?selectedStore=us) but thanks to the Renesas version of this core, we now get the 5V-run RA4M. From Arduino's description, here are some of the updates: - Hardware compatibility with UNO form factor: The UNO R4 Minima maintains the same form factor, pinout, and 5 V operating voltage as its predecessor, the UNO R3. This ensures a seamless transition for existing shields and projects, leveraging the extensive and unique ecosystem already established for the Arduino UNO. - Expanded memory and faster clock: Prepare for more precise calculations and the ability to handle complex projects with ease. The UNO R4 Minima boasts increased memory and a faster clock speed, empowering you to tackle demanding tasks effortlessly. - Extra on-board peripherals: The UNO R4 Minima introduces a range of on-board peripherals, including a 12-bit DAC, CAN BUS, and OP AMP. These additional components provide you with expanded capabilities and flexibility in your designs. - Extended 24 V tolerance: The UNO R4 Minima now supports a wider input voltage range, allowing power supplies up to 24 V. This enables seamless integration with motors, LED strips, and other actuators, simplifying your projects by utilizing a single power source. - SWD connector: Debugging is a critical aspect of any project. Simply connect an external debugger to the UNO R4 Minima and effortlessly monitor the inner workings of your system. Stay in control and gain valuable insights. - HID support: The UNO R4 Minima comes with built-in HID (Human Interface Device) support, enabling it to simulate a mouse or keyboard when connected to a computer via a USB cable. This convenient feature makes it a breeze to send keystrokes and mouse movements to a computer, enhancing usability and functionality. At $20 a piece, these new Arduino UNO R4s (https://www.digikey.com/short/qj072pnm) are a great price for the high quality you get from Arduino - and there's lots of them in stock at DigiKey for immediate shipment! Grab both the UNO R4 Minima (https://www.digikey.com/short/r70jbj93) and UNO R4 WiFi (https://www.digikey.com/short/qj072pnm), and they'll ship immediately so you can get started moving your 8-bit micro projects to Cortex-M4 by tomorrow afternoon

How do you dyno tune an F1 car and how hard is it to replace their specialist electronics in order to keep the cars running?Originally touted as a 740bhp at 17,000 RPM 3L V10 engine, Milan of PerSysTec gives us a rundown on the 650HP, 16,000 RPM 1997 Williams FW19 car that helped earn both the constructors title plus first and second places in the driver's championship for Jacques Villeneuve and Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Discussed are how the electronics on what is now a classic F1 car can be modernized, the level of integration that involves along with some of the reasons this was required.Despite the car still being an impressive piece of kit and well ahead of the technology trend that we see filtering down to our own personal cars, unsurprisingly, there is not much on the Williams FW19 that was ever mass-produced to supply the car with spares 20+ years into the future. Combine this with the fact that computer technology from the time now has legacy status and many of the talented people who worked on tuning the original Magneti Marelli ECU have long since changed careers or retired, it's only natural a modern Cosworth ECU that is used at professional levels of motorsport today such as LMP1 and LMP2 is instead utilized.The original Williams VCM that controls the cars remaining hydraulic systems (clutch, gearbox) has been retained due to the fact parts and support are still available from the team. Interestingly, the latest version of CAN Bus was published in 1991 (CAN 2.0B) and utilized in F1 shortly after so it is surprisingly easy to integrate this into the modern Cosworth ECU right back to the 1992 FW14B. While capable of a lot more, in this application the Cosworth ECU is in some cases left in the backseat simply as a failsafe to shut down the engine if any other systems run into trouble.While all of this electronic work is essentially irreversible, it does mean that with some RPM limits and ignition cut safeties in place the car can still be driven by a professional driver at events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Hearing the V10 Renault RS9 run is certainly something we enjoy a lot more than staring at a static display piece personally.Want to learn how to EFI tune?

We haven't seen many attacks on our smart cars. That's perhaps because of a dedicated group of hackers who are working to improve automotive security. Robert Leale, the driving force behind the Car Hacking village at DEF CON, joins The Hacker Mind to talk about CANBus basics, and whether we'll see cars subjected to ransomware attacks. He also shares some tools, books, and website resources that you can use to get started hacking cars yourself.

APRIL 2021 NEW CAR REGISTRATION FIGURESThere have been some attention grabbing headlines written, which seem to forget that whilst the year-on-year comparison stats are dramatically up on last year, we were all locked in our houses 12 months ago. Against the 10 year average the number of new car registrations are still down. To read more, click the SMMT article here. FORD AND NHS TRIALLING VACCINE TRANSITA specially converted Ford Transit is being trialled by the NHS to take the Covid vaccines out to the community. There are fitted with temperature controlled fridges, folding seats and other equipment to administer the injections. Hopefully this works, as it will help get the vaccine to everyone, especially those who cannot travel to the centres that have been set up to administer them.

ROAD AND RAIL INVESTMENT BEING REEVALUATED In a move that should be unexpected to everyone, the Government is reevaluating the transport infrastructure spending plans. The supposedly reduced numbers commuting is one reason given, but mainly this will be because every budget across the Government, whether central or local, will be inspected closely due to a lack of cash.

POLICE FIND OVER A THOUSAND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS In a large operation police over a thousand catalytic converters were recovered with over 50 people being arrested. There has been a rise in thefts from cars due to the increase in price for rare metals. To read more, click the Motoring Research article here. PETROL PRICES KEEP CLIMBINGThe RAC has revealed that we are on a run of six months of continued price rise in fuel prices. This is expected to continue over the summer, where there will be an increase in demand, along with supplying nations capping production. To read more, click the Motoring Research article here. EV CHARGING POINTS HACKEDA Chinese Security research team has demonstrated gaining access to a car, via the CANBus, from an EV charging station. They were able to alter the rate of charge, avoid paying and sending messages. To read more, click The Register article here. FRENCH VILLAGE AIMING TO THWART WAZEIn a bid to stop Waze re-routing congested traffic away from hold ups on the local main roads and through their village, residents added a sign, essentially saying ‘access only’ which was communicated back to the app, which meant the algorithm no longer used that diversion. We applaud that clever way of altering behaviour.

We love looking at how to hack things you didn't think would or could be hacked. Last time, it was an election. This time, it's cars. We're joined by car hacking expert, https://www.linkedin.com/in/cybermaggedon/ (Mark Adams), to help us navigate our way through these murky waters. From car jacking to car hacking, we take a deep dive into CANBus, the potential motivations for hacking a vehicle (or a fleet of vehicles), and the kind of damage that can be done. We cover everything from cyber extortion to good old-fashioned theft, and explore how uniquely vulnerable vehicles can truly be.

Brent Picasso has been racing since 2009 and has since created a company that provides the RaceCapture and Podium real time telemetry and data capture/display systems.  We cover the development history and capabilities of the system, as well as his racing history.  With what originally began as a self-tweeting race car, they have been able to develop one of the best and most complete systems we have seen to date. Podium is capable of being used with virtually all data collecting systems and converts the data into many potential formats to aid in understanding and analyzing.  RaceCapture is a separate  system that comes in three levels suitable for once in a blue moon track day participants to full time professional racing teams. His initial racing history began at Thunderhill with what was originally intended to be a Peugeot entry but eventually led to turbo Miata and 1,000 penalty laps and the race to zero laps began.  The initial wheel to wheel racing action set the hook and he hasn’t looked back since.  Since then, in addition to the Peugeot, his conquests included a turbo 3-cylinder Mercur XR4Ti, a Crown Vic, and a second gen V6 MR2. (Bill really wants a piece of that MR2 since he had one in college)  1)  The development history of both RaceCapture and Podium and how each can be used together or with other data capture systems like AIM, MoTeC etc.  2)  The use and capabilities of the various systems and how they interact 3)  Data collection capabilities as well as how the data can be followed, used, and displayed, both in real time at the track, remotely, or within the racing car itself. 4)  There are three levels of the RaceCapture system, what they are used for and how they differ 5)  Podium app capabilities, use, and several upcoming features and capabilities 6)  Ability to look at data in real time or as a review, especially with racing coaches and friends. 7)  These systems appear to lower the barrier to look at and use any data you are collecting currently or in the future 8)  Driver data comparison techniques and use 9)  Some of the key improvements of this environment is the lower barrier to using and understanding and improving as a result of the data 10)  The interface is also able to be used as a real time, in car dashboard and/or dashboard replacement 11)  It is also able to be used not only in the car, but also in the garage/paddock at the track, and even remotely, all in real time on a wide variety of hardware including computers, laptops, iPads, phones, etc. 12)  What is predictive lap time, how it is calculated and potentially used on the track 13)  How the system works with driver changes etc., so common in endurance racing 14)  Pit use vs in car use vs post-race review usage and options 15)  Options and thoughts for use with multiple cars/multi car teams 16)  We try to overview the installation process and requirements, as well as how they vary depending on the car being used, its OBD2 capabilities etc. 17)  Options and thoughts regarding additional sensor use for things like brake pad temperature or tire temperatures 18)  What is Canbus and how it can be used with the system to increase the capabilities and data that can be collected and monitored in real time, like differential temperature etc. 19)  Shift X3 capabilities and usage to form alarms and warning systems for the driver of potential car issues such as engine rpm shift lights, oil and water pressure and temperatures etc.  20)  Advanced customization options are also available for those interested through Lua programming capabilities built into the system 21)  Options and use within dedicated race cars, as well as occasional track/daily driver cars 22)  In car dashboard replacement options with using the system 23)  We are very excited with several of the upcoming additions to the systems and steps to continuously improve the ease (of use and data “digestion”) and capabilities of the systems and how they integrate with each other and external data sources like video etc., as well as several advanced pit-to-car communication capabilities All of this can be used for track days, HPDE events, and racing events at all types of venues and tracks, including impromptu tracks and non-traditional racing areas common with Autocross events etc.    We are placing our order for several of these systems next week and will likely have our review in an upcoming episode(s) as we progress.  Best regards, Bill, Vicki, and Alan Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training podcast and team members in the GHiT Immature Endurance Racing Team   Several links mentioned within the podcast: Autosports Lab/RaceCapture:  https://www.autosportlabs.com/ Podium App:  https://podium.live/software Aim Sportline:  https://www.aim-sportline.com/index.htm MoTeC:  https://www.motec.com.au/products-currentrange/product-directory/

Feedback Es gab in letzter Zeit nicht viel Feedback, wir sind auch viel beschäftigt. Wir hoffen das wird in nächster Zeit besser. Basti hat in den letzten Wochen wieder mehr Bilder aus dem Arbeitsalltag auf Twitter gepostet. Common-Sense-Tipps Basti spricht über die Pinbelegung von Applikationsprozessoren und wie er GPIOs auswählt. Chris spricht über eine MOSFET H-Brücken Schaltung und welche Effekte dabei zu beachten sind. Neuigkeiten zu den Projekten gibt es leider nicht. KiCad interactive BOM Plugin Basti stellt ein Plugin vor, mit dem eine HTML Seite aus einem KiCad Projekt extrahiert werden kann. Diese zeigt eine interaktive Stückliste mit Informationen zur Platzierung auf der Leiterplatte. Ihr findet eine Beispielseite hier. Chip der Woche Der STM32F042F6 ist diese Woche der vorgestellte Chip. Es ist ein kleiner TSSOP-20 Mikrocontroller, der mit 48MHz Systemtakt arbeitet. Der interne Takt ist ausreichend genau, für USB 2.0 oder CAN. So kommt der Chip ohne eine externe Taktquelle aus. Er kostet unter 1€ und wird von Basti in einem Projekt als Brücke zwischen einem Applikationsprozessor und einem CAN Bus verwendet. Wir haben immernoch das Happy Gecko Board zu verschenken. Schickt uns Vorschläge, welche physikalischen Schalter ihr mit kapazitiven Tasten ersetzen würdet an: feedback@kurzschlussjunkies.de oder auf Twitter.

Should police have the ability to control your car? We're going to talk about automakers are talking about giving police control over your car. Pay with cash? Not in Britain. Britain and some other European countries are moving towards a cashless society. What does it mean? Remote skimming of your Credit Cards. The Secret Service is warning about High Tech Thieves using this tactic. Auto insurance and Autonomous Vehicles. We'll be talking about that and what's happening with auto insurance when it comes to these new self-driving cars. Ransomware what's happened to it, why don't we heard as much about it anymore. The National Security Agency, NSA, halted that surveillance program. We will be talking about that they had that surveillance program that Edward Snowden really got in trouble for. Cameras that watch for prospective shoplifters? Yes, cameras with AI software designed specifically to spot shoplifters even before they steal.

Airing date: 03/09/2019 Trump Halts NSA Surveillance Program - AI Spotting Shoplifters - Autonomous Vehicles Police And Insurance Craig Peterson: 0:00  Hey, it's that music must mean it is time for me to get going. Good morning everybody. Everyone who's tuning in on the radio, listening on the iHeart app or even listening to the podcast. It's a lot of fun. I'm honored to be here every week and I get so many great comments from people thanking me for everything I do and I do try hard as they say, right Avis - we try harder. I try hard to get you all of the information you need to know and help you out. From putting on those master classes for you and trying to do all of this stuff without the sponsorship, that personally I kind of find a little bit annoying but you know that's the price right? You have to pay for the time on the air etc., etc. So I'll Anyhow, you are tuned in for the half hour we have today. We're going to talk about automakers here giving police control over your car. What's happening with that. Britain and some other European countries are moving towards a cashless society. How about ours? What does it mean? We get another warning out from the Secret Service about high tech thieves, and how they're doing remote skimming now of your credit cards. Auto insurance. This came up this week I was chatting with someone. So, I found a really great article on Bloomberg that I shared on my website. We'll be talking about that and what's happening with auto insurance when it comes to these new self-driving cars. Yes, indeed, this is going to be a very big deal especially for those smaller insurance guys who are out there. Ransomware what's happening what's happened to it, why don't we heard as much about it anymore. The National Security Agency NSA, they have halted that surveillance program. We will be talking about that they had that surveillance program that Edward Snowden really got in trouble for. These cameras are designed to spot shoplifters even before they steal. And the whole concept of artificial intelligence came up this week as well when I was chatting with a couple of different radio stations and also a little bit on my show last week. So, let's get started with that. The NSA, we know that they threw a huge net out there, they were doing bulk data collection on U.S. domestic phone records. It was abused apparently by the feds multiple times. It looks like the Obama administration might have abused it as well. And under the so-called USA Freedom Act, which was put in place by the way to replace the act that had been in effect since 911. So, the USA Freedom Act. It requires reauthorization at the end of the year, and President Trump is saying that he doesn't want to extend it. Isn't it interesting how the tables have turned? You know, we've had the Democrats screaming about privacy, about all of these things for so many years. And now it's come out that of course, they are the party of no free speech. Just try and say something against them, see what happens to you. We just had had a case of a guy on campus out at UC Berkeley, getting just cold-cocked right in the face because of his exercise of free speech. And when it comes to free speech, of course, now the Democrats are introducing a law that would put in place an old FCC rule that they had under the Obama administration that actually hurt the development of the internet. Well, I'm sure I'll end up talking about that in a future show as well. But President Trump apparently is not looking to extend it. Not at all. That's according to Luke Murray and he's the National Security Advisor. And what's interesting too, is he's a security adviser to the Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy. Now, this didn't come out of the White House. So, who knows exactly what's going to happen. But the New York Times is reporting on this. CNN is reporting on this and if the left is reporting on it. Well, I guess they want it in place, right. They want to be able to monitor their opponents, their so-called enemies. Well, the NSA last year disclosed it had found technical problems with the program that led to the collection of records on U.S. persons didn't have the authority to collect while da they were collecting absolutely everything. Remember, they said, oh, we're just collecting phone metadata doesn't really matter. It's not a big deal. And then it turned out well, yes, metadata, in fact, can be used to figure out who you are who you're talking to. Where you were, track you around, okay. Very, very big deal to collect that metadata. Well, according to Murray, he said that the administration actually hasn't been using it for the past six months because of problems in which way the information was collected. You remember last year and reported late last year in 2018, that the NSA had destroyed volumes, just tons of the data they had been collecting under the order. Of course, the new Trump administration because you can't monitor people, right? We're supposed to be safe. We're supposed to have privacy in our papers and our persons. It's just crazy how far it's gone. He said, it possibly is collecting information on US citizens the way it was transferred from private companies to the administration after they got to FISA court approval. And we know there have been some serious issues with the FISA court approvals based on what we're starting to hear about the FISA court warrants. And you know me I've been against these all of the time I've called them star-chamber proceedings because there's there's no way to defend yourself. Now it's not quite the same as a grand jury we're obviously you can't defend yourself in a grand jury, either, right and the grand jury You know the old statement that you can indict a ham sandwich with the grand jury. Absolutely true. But when it comes to the grand jury, now it starts the whole legal process and it starts out in the open with the FISA court everything is top secret which is what? It's an absolute probability that we are going to get some abuses of the system, right? Is it that the way that always ends up going so Murray also noted that reauthorizing the program would be challenging he says I'm not actually certainly administration will want to start that the back up where they've been the last six months in other words The Trump administration came in saw the abuses that were occurring, saw the problems with the data and stopped the program. They destroyed a lot of the data that was illegally collected on US citizens, US persons. And they have not been using the data. And you remember testimony on this whole thing from the National Security director in front of Congress saying that they had not indicted a single person. Had not made a single arrest because of the data that had been collected in this program. And yet, there's so much data being collected and stored that it actually drove up the price of hard disks in the United States. Because all of this data was being collected and stored there, most of it in Utah at the point of the mountain. The whole thing is just nuts. You know, anyways, you get me going here on a Saturday morning. Let's move on to another topic here that's going to get me going when it comes to shoplifters and AI Well, you know, artificial intelligence, AI, what it's all about. There's a great article in Bloomberg, you'll find on my website. Okay. It's from Bloomberg. And it's talking about this Japanese startup called VAAK. VAAK has developed what they're calling artificial intelligence software. And this software is designed to look at people to watch the footage. And from that footage, try to hunt for potential shoplifters. We've talked before about some of the programs that are in place, a software that's being used by police departments here in the US and around the world. And the software that is trying to predict where crime is going to occur next. Frankly, pretty darn scary stuff there is no two ways about it. And now this startup is saying that they can use footage from regular security cameras. And what it does is it looks for people who are fidgeting, who are restless, and other potentially suspicious body languages. And I'll go into any detail about what that actually means. But this really does remind me of the movie Minority Report. We keep going back to that, don't we? Where we've got algorithms here instead of the three people who can see into the future. We got algorithms analyzing the security camera footage and then what it does is alert staff about potential thieves and it does it via a smartphone app. So, think about what they've been doing over in Vegas for so long where they're monitoring everybody on the floor the looking for people who are trying to game the gaming system out there. And they have the security guards running around and you do something they don't like and you're going to the very least be ejected Well, in this case, the goal is prevention. And what happens here is if the targets approached and asked if they need help. They found that it's a good chance that the theft never happens. So, they have a smartphone app that the security people are carrying around, the loss prevention people, and they see somebody is looking a little fidgety. The app automatically informs them. They go over and just say Hey, need any help. And that's about all it takes. Now we're talking about real money. Shoplifting costs the global retail industry about $34 billion in lost sales in 2017. It's crazy and that's the biggest shortage source, excuse me, of shrinkage. Of course, there's a lot of shrinkages. It goes out the back door of the store as well. But the biggest one is people who are stealing and that amounts by the way to 2% of revenue. That's a huge chunk of revenue when you get right down to it. And the whole retail industry is known for very narrow, very thin margins. So, when you're talking about 2% of revenue, it's hurting them dramatically. But the other side is if they can stop it that opportunity is absolutely huge. And they're projecting that retailers are going to invest about $200 billion in new tech this year. That's according to Gartner. And they'll probably become more open to embracing technology to meet consumer needs. Interesting stuff isn't it and you know we're being tracked as we walk around the stores our smartphones are being used to track as if you've got an iPhone a more recent iPhone they really can't track you very well, they don't know when you're re-entering the store but this company got founded and funded to the tune of about a half a million dollars and it's the middle of a series A seeking to raise $10 million or more courses all Japanese yen I'm doing quick comparisons and translations in my head, as we're going along, so, we'll see what happens there. And you can expect to be monitored by this software or something very similar to it next time you go shopping because some of this is already out there. And they're using it, the police departments to determine who might be a terrorist. They're comparing our faces to the National Crime NCIC information computer system. Where all of our data is being shared. A lot of states take our drivers licenses and share that information. I still don't have a regular driver's license that has the TSA compatible components on it. Because I don't want the state to keep my picture although that means I have to have a passport as well in order to in order to have that ability to fly. Although I try not to fly, whenever possible. So, let's talk about our cars here for a second and the police and these new autonomous vehicles. By now everybody's heard of Elon Musk, and you've heard of his cars, the Tesla's and and I remember a few years back talking about how Consumer Reports, of course, reports on cars and how they had a very high rating and how the National Transportation Safety Board, when they tested the Tesla Model S for safety, it basically broke their whole system because it performed so well. They had to revise and to change the way they measure the safety of cars because Tesla was just so good. Well, now we've got a few issues with Tesla, first of all, Consumer Reports has put all models of Tesla on their lower, do not buy lists from their top list, which is kind of a shocker. And that's due to the long term effects of owning a Tesla, the longevity. Where part start to fail how expensive they are, if you bought a Tesla you probably notice how crazy expensive the insurance is. Because it's expensive to repair a Tesla. Which I guess makes sense there aren't a lot of them and there aren't dealers everywhere. There's no competitive market for Tesla parts. Now we've got Elon Musk, making a statement that truly got some people concerned. And he's kind of backtracked that statement a little bit. But Elon Musk was talking about how our Tesla's within a year or so, is going to be completely autonomous. They are going to be completely self-driving, even on side roads. And there's debate as to whether or not that's even possible at this point in time that Tesla doesn't have the same sorts of sensors that the other fully autonomous vehicles that are currently on the road being tested. It doesn't have the same types of sensors with LIDAR and other things. So, can they actually do it? And, and that's where he kind of backtracked a little bit. Well, when we have these autonomous vehicles, there are so many questions that come up, and we're going to talk about two of them right now. One of them is should police have the ability to control your self-driving car? Bloomberg published a story last Wednesday about how our autonomous vehicle should interact with law enforcement. Because there was a story that came out back in December 2018 about a driver who fell asleep behind the wheel of a Tesla with his autopilot engaged. And apparently, the driver was drunk I guess is what was going on. But at any rate, he fell asleep. So, that Tesla is driving down the highway and the police are trying to pull it over and they cannot pull it over. So, they're trying to figure out what what-what do we do here, the drivers intoxicated, he's falling asleep behind the wheel, the cars driving down the highway at whatever speed was driving at the time. This is a problem that autonomous vehicle manufacturers are going to have to address. And it's also something Law enforcement going to have to try and figure out as well. Now it's one thing if it's a completely autonomous vehicle, you look at some of those stuff like Mercedes has, there's no steering wheel, there's no driver you get in where you are "fall on the floor" drunk or you are wide awake, working on business stuff, you have no responsibility to control the car. The car can be pre-programmed to take you somewhere which would happen in the case of like a like an almost a taxi service saying, pick me up here. Drop me off there and off it goes. Right. That's what Uber is aiming for. We have also privately owned vehicles and we can do this thing like Take me home. And so the car just takes you home, right? And life hopefully is good. Well, should the car be monitoring you? If you're vomiting? Should the car redirect itself to the hospital should it be monitoring your pulse and respiration, to know that, hey, you just had a heart attack, I need to take you to the hospital. You know, how far does the responsibility of the autonomous vehicle and it's manufacturer and software developer, how far does that responsibility actually extend. Very, very good questions here and man, we are going to have some fun as time goes forward as we try and answer these. So, going back to December 2018, you got a drunk driver in a Tesla sound asleep. Normally what would happen that car would be involved in a wreck. Someone else might be terribly injured. A whole family might be killed. Heaven knows that It's happened before. Now that cars just driving down the road all by itself and the police officer notices the guys asleep. So what they did is the police went and blocked the car in. So they got in front of the car. They got behind the car. They got beside the car on both sides. And they just slowed down. And the Tesla sensors said okay, was nothing I can do here. I have to slow down I can't change lanes. And so the Tesla ended up stopping which makes sense, right. But should that Tesla notice those flashing lights? Should that Tesla have had the ability for the police officers to say, stop and pull over, Right? How far should have been able to go? and if that car has the smarts to stop for flashing light, what's to stop a bad guy from just using the strobe in their car to have, you know the car in front of them pull over. So, that they can molest someone or what whatever it is the bad guy wants to do. And even if it's not based on the flashing lights, which it would kind of have to be, initially. Because we're not going to have the control systems in the police vehicles, but if the police vehicles now do have those control systems and they can pull the car over with just a remote command. Wants to say that again, the bad guys aren't going to try and hack those. So, very murky legal territory. If you own that car, should the police have the ability and the right to control that car and how far should that go? Particularly, if that vehicle and or the driver of the vehicle is not doing anything illegal? So? you're just driving down the road everything's wonderful. You are being all the speed limits all of the traffic signs, you are not being erratic, you're not zooming past people. Should the police be able to pull you over at that point? Kind of goes back to, I guess, the checkpoint things, right? Should you have to stop at a sobriety checkpoint even though you know that you are sober. and I don't like those personally either, because even though I never drink and drive, and I've never been drunk, even though that that has never happened to me, I still resent these things because it is truly an invasion of privacy. Very interesting questions, Isn't it? Very interesting. We already have police departments that have these remote controlled little race car type things that they can launch from underneath their car. And what happens is they drive it underneath the car in front of them. So, it's this little, think of this little RC cars, you know that you had remote control cars, that you're driving out there. Well, they have in the middle do 80 miles an hour. So, it goes right up under your car and then it sets off an electromagnetic pulse, which of course shut off your engine if you're driving a modern car. And now your engine shut off and you have to stop because there's no engine anymore, right? Should they be allowed to do that? Well, they're already doing that in some jurisdictions. Now we got another point here when we're talking about self-driving cars and I think friends of mine that are in the insurance business and I start getting really kind of worried. A Tesla Model X in Southern California. If you were to buy that, the insurance premium at least this is a few years ago, was about $10,000 a year. Now, I mentioned already why Tesla's are so expensive? Because they're very expensive to fix. You can get into a five mile an hour accident, a fender bender basically in the Tesla and it can cost you five to 10 grand to get that fixed. Okay. It's a very big deal, but there's also the limited self-driving, what they call autopilot mode on the autonomous vehicles. Now, there are more and more sensors that are getting built into these things, but the underwriters and the actuaries are trying to figure out, how do they handle this new type of risk before it was you, you were in control, and either your equipment failed. And you know, your brakes didn't work, you couldn't steer your tire blew out, whatever it might be, and they know what those numbers look like because they've got a century-plus worth of data. Simple enough, right? Well, how about you as a driver? Well, they've got information on you as well and nowadays are using credit checks and everything else, which I think is nuts in order to come up with your insurance rate. But they've got all of this data and there's very few Model X's on the road. So, how do they figure that out? And then the bigger question when we start looking at this, it was addressed. This is really great, Deloitte, you probably familiar with that company, in 2019 insurance outlook report, they said the rise of connectivity has generated a massive amount of real-time data and turned the insurer's relationship with policyholders from static and transactional to dynamic and interactive. So, what this means is basically everything has changed. We're now transitioning that transitions is just starting now. If your autonomous vehicle is in an accident, who's responsible? Do you even need to have insurance anymore? No, you might have medical insurance, you might have some sort of collision insurance kind of a gap insurance sort of thing for you. For your medical expenses or for the medical expenses of other people in your vehicle. But even then, who should be responsible for the medical expenses, because the tables we have right now that the insurance companies are using to figure out our liability and how much they should be charging us, those are based on more than 90% of accidents are caused by human error. So, if you take the driver out of the equation when it comes to the accident itself. We're talking about big changes for insurers because 90% of that whole market transaction is changing. So, this is absolutely huge. They're forecasting trouble for insurers as automation becomes more widespread. Premiums could drop, they're saying maybe 12% or so by 2035. I think they should probably drop more than that. But who carries the insurance is the person who owns the vehicle? Is it the person who's in the vehicle operating it? quote unquote, even though they may not even have a steering wheel. Is it the manufacturer of the car, that should be liable? Is it the people who wrote the software? Is the company that was contracted to write the software? And remember, there isn't just one piece of software, there are dozens of computers and I mean, dozens and dozens and dozens of computers in a modern car, each one of them could fail. Is that the manufacturer of the CANBUS or whatever the buses all of these computers are using to talk to each other? Who has the liability? So, as automation levels in these cars reach level.s four and five, where you have complete fully autonomous, no human involvement. Insurance is going to change dramatically. So, what about the local guy that's been selling new insurance for your vehicle, forever? Isn't that interesting? You're still going to have some insurance I'm sure that's never going to go away but in this case, the driver won't be the risky part. The liability is really going to migrate to the manufacturer. The licensees of the software. It's just going to change. Nationwide is one insurance company that's starting to think about the problem and I'm sure, frankly, all of them are but Nationwide's come up with some interesting stuff. So, check out online Craig Peterson dot com, you are going to find an article here that you've got to read. This is from QZ dot com. Britain is moving to a cashless society. So, what happens to poor people who don't have bank accounts, credit cards. Who doesn't have access to that? Sweden already is a great example of how not to get rid of cash. Most of the banks in the country of Sweden don't accept paper money or coins. Same things true of a lot of restaurants and stores, even public toilets. How about the elderly. The poor, people with handicaps. Okay, what's going to happen Unknown 27:00 of them in cash isn't available. Got to think about all of this stuff. The government likes the idea because it's easier for them to track and make sure people aren't cheating. But on the other hand, I'm not sure that this is such a great idea. And you know me, right. I am a cash kinda guy. Anyhow, have a great day we will be back next week and tune in every day if you're not already on my podcast.

Motorcycles, roasts, Races, Shows, Giving a Shift about the future. This is episode 108. Well, you’ve made it to another episode. Congrats! On this episode we discuss listener feed back. We have a round of Instagram Shoutouts at the end of the show. Before we begin, I’d like to encourage you to take a ride over to http://creative-riding.com/WPMaster/mugs-for-sale/ and use the link to buy yourself a mug! You’re worth it! In the spirit of the show, you can even customize it and send us pics. Congrats to Lance who went and ordered a STEIN! That’s a lot of beverage, and probably needed to get through the entire show. Part one: We have some listener feedback. On last week’s show we talked about CAN-Bus systems, and were told that in fact the kit that Lance was talking about installing on his CB750 was in fact a MotoGadget. Go check them out if you’re looking to remove complexity from your current build. Wiggins and I had busy weekends. He talks about the Veggie Plate Classic that he helped promote at Perris Raceway. I talk about the Women’s Moto Show at Lucky Wheels. Part two: Roast my bike… Well, let’s just say we bring the elementary school cut-downs this time. The target this time is talented artist and previous guest, N8 Biccum . Nate has a 2006 Dyna. Who doesn’t though, you know what I mean? Remember N8, this all comes from a place of love and comedy, and we just want you to know that we’re saying what others are saying. While your’e listening to the show, go check out N8biccum in instagram for your chance to win an illustration! Part three: If you’ve got time, after our show give a listen to Episode 236 of the Motorcycles and Misfits , or episode 69 of The 2 Enthusiasts Podcast. Both cover the Give a Shift movement that former industry representative Robert Pandya has started in response to the recent fears around the future of motorcycling. You can go to www.motogiveashift.com to view the reports, transcripts and other information regarding Give a Shift. I was lucky enough to attend the G.A.S. presentation at Lucky Wheels Garage. Wiggins and I give our thoughts on some of the long term patterns that may have lead to the circumstances that have the moto media and some industry experts concerned. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Send your questions, rants, raves, and bike roast suggestions to: creativeridingpodcast@gmail.com Leave a review in iTunes, Sound Cloud, Stitcher, Tune In, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Motorcycles, roasts, CAN-Bus, suppliers, what else? Get your info here. Well, you’ve made it to episode 107. Congrats! On this episode we discuss listener feed back. We have a round of Instagram Shoutouts at the end of the show. Before we begin, I’d like to encourage you to take a ride over to http://creative-riding.com/WPMaster/mugs-for-sale/ and use the link to buy yourself a mug! You’re worth it! In the spirit of the show, you can even customize it and send us pics. Part one: Wiggins takes some listener questions and we get down on a listener’s inquiry about CAN-Bus systems. We’ll imply what a Bus is if you aren’t exactly sure, but do you really trust us? We’ll try to answer the question without knowing all of the technical specs of the actual components being talked about. If you want to check out a gadget that will help you minimize wires and add electronic capabilities, check out the MotoGadget. Part two: Roast my bike… Well, let’s just say we bring the kindergarten insults to the table and TRY to make fun of Lance’s (sonofcorax on instagram) 2016 Triumph Rocket III in Crackle Blue Metallic. It’s harder than we thought, and in all honesty, we are the ones who deserve to be made fun of. Our jokes were pretty horrible, and the final score was: Rocket III = 1; Creative Riding chumps = 00. In my defense, I meant to say “Evel Knievel asked for a Triumph Rocket III for his last jump, because he had nothing left to lose”. This all comes from a place of love and comedy, and Lance & the Rocket III are both lovely Canadians who wanted to play along with the Roast my Bike game. Next time we’ll be funnierest, and we might pick a better looking bike that more people own. New phrase = ‘Just as Worse’. Part three: Lets get into the ‘Who’ and ‘Where’ to get parts for your bikes. In support of our ongoing build series, it’s important that we tell you where you can get parts and supplies that you need to customize and build YOUR bike to YOUR specification. From cables to covers, we will list off a few vendors and resources for you to consider when getting started on your BikeEXIF candidate. Get out a pen and paper, because you’re going to want to take notes!

We asked Glenn Stasky to join us on this show in an effort to learn more about aftermarket lighting for our motorcycles. The number one quote from automobile drivers after contact with a motorcycle is "I didn't see him". We discuss the benefits of truly standing out in traffic. Any number of hazards exist on the sides of the road and in the road to motorcyclist. Animals and people can walk right out in front of us at night as well as potholes in the road and a full range of items on the road that have fallen from trucks. Seeing these things early give us precious time to think and react. Great lighting can give us that time. Glenn brings much technical information from a riders perspective that we believe is invaluable. Our goal was to avoid turning this into an infomercial and to make this show an educational tool for all of us who value excellent roadcraft. For BMW riders, we discussed how the Clearwater Lights systems interface simply and easily with CANbus. Al Ludington, of V8R Performance in Daytona Beach, joined us to discuss the degree of difficulty in installing aftermarket lighting. In additiona to selling and installing Clearwater Lights, his shop converts Mazda Maita's from their standard 4 cylinder engines to V6 and V8 power. As it happened on the day we did this show, Al parted company with AMA Pro Racing rather unexpectedly. We discussed the temporary break in his career in professional motorcycle racing and what the future may hold for him.  Talking Motorcycles is powered by Crosley Brands! Special thanks to: The Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires and Clearwater Lights!

Einen fahrbaren Roboter zu bauen- das ist schon eine echte Herausforderung. Um diesem aber auch noch beizubringen autonom Aufgaben zu lösen, bedienten sich Michael Fürst und sein Team der Mathematik: Im Rahmen der Gulasch Programmier-Nacht (GPN16) des Entropia e.V. in der Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG) und dem Zentrum für Kunst und Medien (ZKM) in Karlsruhe berichtete er über die Verfahren der Probabilistischen Robotik (Video) und welche Erfahrungen sie damit machen konnten- und erzählt uns im Gespräch mit Sebastian Ritterbusch davon. Michael Fürst studiert Informatik am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) und befasst sich im Team Informatik der Hochschulgruppe Kamaro Engineering speziell mit robusten probabilistischen Methoden zur Entscheidungsfindung. Der aktuelle Roboter Beteigeuze der Hochschulgruppe ist die zweite Generation und wurde dafür ausgelegt, Aufgaben in der Überwachung und Bewirtschaftung von Maisfeldern oder der Navigation im urbanen Umfeld zu erfüllen. Die Hochschulgruppe gibt es seit 3 Jahren und besteht aus 30-45 Mitgliedern. Sie ist eingebettet in das Teilinstitut Mobile Arbeitsmaschinen (MOBIMA) am Institut für Fahrzeugsystemtechnik (FAST) am KIT mit dessen Unterstützung und Drittspenden sich die Hochschulgruppe finanziert. Die interdisziplinäre Hochschulgruppe besteht aus vier Teams: Das Organisationsteam, das Mechanik-Team, das Elektrotechnik-Team und das Informatik-Team. Die Gruppe organisiert sich auch als Verein mit Vorstand und einer Leitung in jedem Team, um mit einer flachen Hierarchie jedem die Möglichkeit zu bieten sich in das Projekt einzubringen. Auf der einen Seite will die Gruppe die autonome Robotik voranzubringen und allen Teammitgliedern gleichzeitig auch die Möglichkeit zu bieten, praktisches Wissen und Erfahrungen neben dem oft theoretischem Studium zu erlangen. Das Team nimmt dazu regelmäßig an verschiedenen internationalen Wettbewerben teil, wie dem Field Robot Event, dem SICK Robot Day oder der Robotour. Technisch basiert die Software-Lösung des Roboters inzwischen auf dem Robot Operating System (ROS), mit dem auf einer Ubuntu-Plattform auf einem im Roboter eingebauten Computer in Java, Python oder C++ die gestellten Aufgaben bearbeitet werden. Mit 40kg Gewicht ist der Roboter für seine Größe kein Leichtgewicht und kann daher nicht beliebig Batterien transportieren, so dass dem Lademanagement eine besondere Rolle zufällt. Die gewählte Größe ermöglicht gerade bei der Feldarbeit einen nicht-invasiven Ansatz, der im Vergleich zu anderen Varianten, wie der automatischen Steuerung von Traktoren, die Pflanzen nicht schädigt. Der Roboter erfasst seine Umwelt mit einer Vielzahl von Sensoren: Die Lidar-Sensoren zur Entfernungsmessung in verschiedenen Richtungen sind dabei besonders wichtig, und sie messen bis zu 50mal pro Sekunde. Sie bestimmen die Entfernungen zur Umgebung des Roboters in einer Ebene bis 16m in einer Auflösung von bis zu drei Messpunkten pro Winkel-Grad und 3cm Entfernungsauflösung- mit gewissen Fehlerraten und Problemen mit reflektierenden Oberflächen. Zusätzlich misst eine intertiale Messeinheit translative und radiale Beschleunigungen wie auch die Ausrichtung zum Erdmagnetfeld. Zusätzlich können auch digitale Kameras zur Detektion von befahrbaren Untergründen, Objekten oder zur Analyse von Pflanzen eingebaut und verwendet werden. Zusätzlich messen Radencoder die Umdrehungen und Auslenkung durch Servos der Räder, womit der Roboter durch Odometrie seine durchgeführte Bewegung aus sich selbst heraus abschätzt. Durch die Kombination der Lidar-Daten mit der Odometrie durch ein SLAM-Verfahren (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) ermöglicht mit einem Kalman-Filter durch Analyse der Kovarianzen die robuste Erstellung einer Karte während des Befahrens, und korrigiert Fehler bei der eigenen Lokalisierung durch die Odometrie. Zusätzlich kann der Roboter mit einem GPS-Empfänger seine Position grob bestimmen. In der Auswertung der Sensoren wird zwar von einer guten Kalibrierung ausgegangen, jedoch ist es Teil des probabilistischen Ansatzes, die erfassten Werte immer mit einer konservativen Fehlerverteilung zu verarbeiten. Die Kamerabilder werden ebenso robust verarbeitet: Die Bilddaten werden nach einer Konvertierung in den HSV-Farbraum zunächst auf eine konstante Helligkeit gebracht, um Schatteneffekte zu reduzieren. Dann werden alle weniger farbigen Pixel als befahrbarer Weg markiert, und die Anzahl der befahrbaren Pixel pro Spalte in ein Histogramm zusammengeführt. Jeder Wert in dem Histogramm wird nun als Güte bzw. der Wahrscheinlichkeit für Fahrbahn in diese Richtung gewertet. Die GPS-Position wird zur Lokalisierung in der Open Street Map verwendet, wo nach Berechnung einer Route die aktuelle Zielfahrtrichtung bestimmt wird. Die eigentliche Entscheidungsfindung erfolgt dann auf Basis der verschiedenen Sensordaten durch die Berechnung von Erwartungswerten in Abhängigkeit von einer möglichen Fahrtrichtung. Genauer betrachtet werden für jeden Sensor Zielfunktionen über den erwarteten Nutzen unter Annahme des Fahrens in eine bestimmte Richtung berechnet, und anschließend der von der Fahrtrichtung abhängige Erwartungswert unter Annahme von Sensorungenauigkeiten und Fahrungenauigkeiten bestimmt. Im Falle der gewünschten Fahrtrichtung aus den GPS- und Kartendaten wird eine sehr breite Normalverteilung angesetzt, weil auch abweichende Richtungen noch einen Gewinn darstellen können, wenn sie zumindest etwas in die richtige Richtung gehen. Aus jedem Sensor ergibt sich pro Fahrtrichtung ein erwarteter Teilnutzen, und aus allen Teilnutzen wird der Gesamtnutzen als Produkt berechnet: Dadurch werden Teilnutzen von 0 sofort als Gesamtnutzen 0 gewertet, ansonsten aber geometrisches Mittel über die Teilnutzen gebildet. Die gewählte Fahrrichtung ergibt sich dann aus der Richtung, unter der sich das Gesamtmaximum des Gesamtnutzens ergibt. Die Verarbeitung der Sensordaten erfolgt typischerweise in der Geschwindigkeit, in der die Sensoren die Umgebung abtasten. In der Bildverarbeitung wird dies besonders durch die effizienten Routinen der verwendeten OpenCV-Bibliothek möglich. So sind bis zu 30 Entscheidungen in der Sekunde möglich, jedoch können die Motoren die Entscheidungen nur deutlich langsamer umsetzen. Es wurden auch weitere Verfahren zur Entscheidungsfindung getestet, wie die Verwendung von Clusteranalyse oder die Erstellung von Voronio-Diagrammen. Doch zeigte die robuste Entscheidungsfindung über Erwartungswerte bei der Navigation im urbanen Gebiet ihre Vorteile. Die beschriebene Entscheidungsfindung bezieht sich dabei bisher nur auf die Fahrtrichtung- die Fahrtgeschwindigkeit wird bisher nur von der freien Wegstrecke in Fahrtrichtung bestimmt. Dadurch verfolgt der Roboter im Normalfalle seine Ziele in Normgeschwindigkeit von 0.5-1m/s (er läuft und läuft und läuft), bremst aber, sobald er in die Gefahr gerät, sonst einen Menschen oder sich selbst zu beschädigen. Dadurch folgt der Roboter den Robotergesetzen von Asimov. Die Kommunikation im Roboter erfolgt über verschiedene Netze- der Lidar-Sensor wird beispielsweise über Ethernet angesprochen, die Entscheidungsfindung spricht mit den Hauptroutinen in der Recheneinheit über eine TCP-Verbindung, die Kommunikation von der Recheneinheit zum Masterboard erfolgt über USB als serielle Schnittstelle (UART), und das Masterboard gibt seine Steuerbefehle über einen CAN-Bus an Motoren und Servos weiter. Der Wettbewerb der Robotour 2015 fand in Tschechien in der Innenstadt von Pisek statt. Nach einer Qualifikation vor Ort gab es nach einer Testrunde eine erste Wettkampfrunde, in der die Roboter eine Lieferung von einem Parkplatz durch die gesamte Innenstadt über festgelegte Wegpunkte letztlich zu einem Restaurant bringen sollen. Obwohl der Testlauf noch erfolgreich war, litt der Roboter Beteigeuze der Gruppe in den ersten zwei Segmenten unter Abstürzen und lag damit auf dem letzten Platz. Nachdem der Fehler gefunden war, erreichte der Roboter im dritten Lauf als einziger das Segmentziel; und blieb im vierten Lauf zwar am Hintereingang des Restaurants hängen, war aber auch da gegenüber allen anderen Kandidaten bei weitem am nächsten am Ziel, und gewann so den Wettbewerb. Für einen Einstieg in die Robotik bieten sich Systeme wie Lego Mindstorms oder andere Roboterbaukästen an, aber auch Programmierspiele, wie sie Michael auch auf der GPN angeboten hat: https://github.com/Programmierspiele.

Karl and Corey discuss the CANbus protocol and the new CAN-FD specification.

Jason Siebels has been a gearhead his whole life and he started his company Pro EFI in the late ‘90’s. Then in 2000 Jason began working at AEM, developing their plug-and-play line of engine management systems. After a falling out, Jason dove head first into making a quality engine controller that functioned the way he thought it should. Now Pro EFI has plug-and-play systems for a handful of applications including the C6 Corvette, and ZL1 Camaro among others. What makes Pro EFI stand out is their fault management and their ability to drive the factory instrumentation via CAN BUS. Jason discusses the hurdles in taking his business to the next level and what it took to get him where he is today.

Anlässlich des Chaos Seminars ist das heutige Thema Busse. Zuerst werden allgemein bekannte Standards wie z.B. PCI, USB, IDE und I2C behandelt. Anschließend kommt ein detailierterer Teil zu CAN. Das Controller Area Network ist als Busstandard dem normalen Hacker eher unbekannt. Vor allem im Automobilbau ist es jedoch der Standard schlechthin. Es werden die Funktionsweise und die Prinzipien erklärt und gezeigt, warum sich CAN für harte Echtzeitanwendungen so gut eignet. Es wird auch eine Möglichkeit vorgestellt, mit dem PC auf einen CAN Bus zuzugreifen.
