This week's Tech Talk Topic is:
The future of robotics and AI - could we ever get self-driving cars to work anywhere other than a sunny California highway?

Due to restrictions on logistics/capacity on-campus, we'll be hosting this event online, so don't worry, you can attend from the comfort of your home/dorm room/happy place (as long as it's got an Internet connection).

We'll have a roundtable-style discussion, and all attendees will have up to 2-3 minutes (depending on attendance) to share what's in their minds regarding the topic, followed by a lightning round, rapid-fire discussion. Feel free to do as much or as little research/preparation as you'd like. Figures, powerpoints, articles, book/video recommendations, hunches, intuitions, personal stories/experiences, witty jokes, etc. are more than welcome!

There's no requirement to be an active part of the discussion; we'll appreciate anybody that decides to make it out. Just remember to bring your big brains. Join via Discord by clicking here!
