Allstate Insurance Co. and Stanford University’s Intelligent Systems Laboratory have begun a three-year research project regarding the safety of autonomous vehicles.
The program will address the use and benefits of artificial intelligence, machine learning, software platforms, algorithms, data sets and other tools that facilitate advanced driver assist and fully autonomous vehicle systems. Allstate aims to “proactively” participate in and support programs for autonomous vehicle systems.
The research will be conducted in Palo Alto, Calif., near Stanford's main campus. Stanford researchers are expected to publish on-going peer-reviewed articles on the project.
The program will be headed by Mykel Kochenderfer, an assistant professor in the Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford. Sunil Chintakindi, Allstate’s director of innovation and research, will oversee the project for the insurance company.
