  • Program Analysis Based Approaches to Ensure Security and Safety of Emerging Software Platforms
    Program Analysis Based Approaches to Ensure Security and Safety of Emerging Software Platforms by Yunhan Jia A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Science and Engineering) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Z. Morley Mao, Chair Professor Atul Prakash Assistant Professor Zhiyun Qian, University of California Riverside Assistant Professor Florian Schaub Yunhan Jia [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-2809-5534 c Yunhan Jia 2018 All Rights Reserved To my parents, my grandparents and Xiyu ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Five years have passed since I moved into the Northwood cabin in Ann Arbor to chase my dream of obtaining a Ph.D. degree. Now, looking back from the end of this road, there are so many people I would like to thank, who are an indispensable part of this wonderful journey full of passion, love, learning, and growth. Foremost, I would like to gratefully thank my advisor, Professor Zhuoqing Morley Mao for believing and investing in me. Her constant support was a definite factor in bringing this dissertation to its completion. Whenever I got lost or stucked in my research, she would always keep a clear big picture of things in mind and point me to the right direction. With her guidance and support over these years, I have grown from a rookie to a researcher that can independently conduct research. Besides my advisor, I would like to thank my thesis committee, Professor Atul Prakash, Professor Zhiyun Qian, and Professor Florian Schaub for their insightful suggestions, com- ments, and support.

  • Wave of Reorganization Shaking up Autonomous Driving Industry
    Mitsui & Co. Global Strategic Studies Institute Monthly Report August 2020 WAVE OF REORGANIZATION SHAKING UP AUTONOMOUS DRIVING INDUSTRY － NON-CONTACT NEEDS POINT TO NEW DEVELOPMENT－ Naohiro Hoshino Industrial Research Dept. I, Industrial Studies Div. Mitsui & Co. Global Strategic Studies Institute SUMMARY While companies’ appetite for investment is weakening in general, large-scale investments in autonomous driving-related businesses noticeably stand out. In April-June 2020, the amount of funds raised and the number of investments by autonomous driving startups reached the highest ever for a quarter. Signs suggest that autonomous driving will transition out of the “disillusionment” phase and move into a stable “expansion” period. However, the landscape of the autonomous driving domain is shifting from a rivalry among many to a consolidation of players, and the reorganization is accelerating. Given that, the funds raised are seen as the product of such realignments. The COVID-19 crisis will likely drive the industry into the “expansion” phase, and initiatives related to unmanned delivery services, in particular, are expected to pick up as the needs for non-contact services are increasing. INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 crisis is having a major impact on corporate investment activities. Amid the deterioration in business performance and the increasing difficulty of arranging financing, companies are refraining from M&As and investments, and are hurrying to secure cash on hand. Against this backdrop, some companies are even announcing suspensions or postponements to already agreed-upon deals. In contrast, new investment are also being formed. Of these, several large-scale investments are made in companies related to autonomous driving, and this domain becomes one of those that shows unique trends in this challenging circumstance.

  • 1 the Warehouse of the Future MSG Ortega, Johanny Sergeants Major Course Class 71 Mr. Torres April 8, 2021
    1 Adobe Acrobat Document The Warehouse of the Future MSG Ortega, Johanny Sergeants Major Course Class 71 Mr. Torres April 8, 2021 2 The Warehouse of the Future Imagine the future. The year is 2035, and drones fly in the sky. A Supply Support Activity (SSA) Soldier prepares high-priority parts for shipment to a forward element and loads them. The drone takes off. The joint logistic system tracks its route and feeds the information to the awaiting customer, giving them live estimated shipment time across a secured cyber communication. When it arrives, the drone scans the customer’s identification card, validating the receipt. It promptly sends a notification to the SSA that the customer received the part. The customer then verifies it against their requisition to ensure serviceability and correctness. If there are no high-priority retrogrades, the customer dispatches the drone. Before takeoff, the drone submits the customer’s part verification receipt, effectively closing the request. Is this science fiction? No. Amazon is testing and refining a version of this and named it Amazon Prime Air (Palmer, 2020). Unfortunately, the Army has yet to catch on to this process. However, to be fair, Amazon began testing drone deliveries in 2013 while the Army was still conducting combat operations in Afghanistan under Operation Enduring Freedom (Palmer, 2020; Torreon, 2020). Since then, Amazon has steadily modernized to meet current and future demand and overmatched most competitors. Nevertheless, the Army’s procurement and budgeting processes are different. Therefore, its trajectory to modernization will differ. Despite these differences, modernization is knocking at the Army’s door.

    Free to View Economics - Global September 2020 By: James Pomeroy www.research.hsbc.com The booming digital economy digital booming The The booming digital economy The pandemic accelerates the megatrend COVID-19 has accelerated the shift towards a more digital economy… …forcing changes in habits that are likely to persist… …with huge implications for Asset // Subcategory governments and policymakers Economics Economics | Global September 2020 Disclosures & Disclaimer: This report must be read with the disclosures and the analyst certifications in the Disclosure appendix, and with the Disclaimer, which forms part of it. Free to View ● Economics - Global September 2020 Executive Summary We can all feel the world around us getting more digital. You could be reading this on a hand- held digital device; you might have bought something online recently; and you will almost certainly have used a digital channel for news, music or photo-sharing in the past 24 hours. We believe this is just the start of the digital economy, and thanks to many underlying forces pushed further by COVID-19, it is only going to get bigger in the years ahead. The pandemic has caused a re-think in how the world thinks about digital technology. It’s allowed us to work remotely, shop for groceries and essentials and stay in touch with family in ways that we hadn’t quite realised previously. To say you were going to ‘Zoom’ someone back in 2019 would have sounded crazy. The crisis is speeding up what was already happening. The role of digital consumption in the global economy has been rising and it was expected to keep rising, driven by gradual shifts in consumer tastes, demographic change and the development of new technologies.

  • Safety Innovation at Zoox
    SAFETY INNOVATION AT ZOOX SETTING THE BAR FOR SAFETY IN AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY VERSION 1.0 / PUBLISHED 2018 FOREWORD ZOOX IS CREATING THE FULL REALIZATION OF SAFE AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY, TODAY. We believe that just as the combustion engine took society from the age of the horse and carriage to the automobile, autonomous mobility technology will take us to the next era in transportation. Our vision is to connect people and places in wonderful ways, while at the same time improving public safety and reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Our goal is to imagine this future and build it today, for a safer and more sustainable tomorrow. This report will provide the reader with a better understanding of how autonomous vehicle technology works, and specifically, how Zoox strives to set the bar for safety in autonomous mobility. We appreciate the opportunity to share the safety foundation we are building now, as we prepare to deploy autonomous vehicles for the public. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Jesse Levinson, Ph.D. Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer SAFETY INNOVATION AT ZOOX 2 FOREWORD SAFETY IS FOUNDATIONAL TO THE ZOOX MISSION. WE STRIVE TO SET THE BAR FOR SAFETY IN AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY. The advent of autonomous technology represents the biggest opportunity to improve the safety of surface transportation since the introduction of the automobile 100 years ago. With robust sensors, advanced software, and rigorous testing, automated vehicles have the opportunity to greatly reduce, and eventually eliminate, the impact of human error at the root of 94 percent of vehicular crashes. Innovating ways to keep people safe is fundamental to who we are at Zoox.
