With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), this dream has seemingly become reality with driverless commercial operations already taking place in a handful of cities around the world. However, the recent tragic accident involving a pedestrian and a Cruise self-driving car, as well as a number of high-profile Tesla crashes, raise the possibility that suchsystems may not actually be as capable as envisioned, and questions have arisen about their safety both nationally and internationally. Given these concerns, it is important to step back and analyze both the actual safety records of these vehicles and just why AI is struggling to operate safely under all conditions in autonomous vehicles.This lecture will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of AI in self-driving cars, as well as in all safety-critical applications, and lay out a roadmap for safe integration of these technologies on public roadways.Speaker(s): Prof Missy Cummings, Agenda: 18:00 (UTC+1) Welcome and Introduction to Guest Speaker18:05 Lecture18:45 Questions and DiscussionsVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/406173

The presentation will review some concepts related to synchronous machine modeling and control. DQ axis theory, rotor and stator differential equations and their effect on transient stability studies will be discussed. Synchronous machine models in typical power system softwares like PSSE, PSLF, Powerworld will be discussed. Models such as GENROU, GENSAL, GENTPJ/F will be discussed briefly. The presentation is geared towards power system experts in the industry who would like to review some of these concepts and appreciate the controls and mathematical modeling nuances. The presentation might also be helpful for graduate students pursuing research in academia to understand these modeling approaches which they might use later to better understand renewable machines modeling.

Please join us on Tuesday, April 30 from 6-8pm at the UND Memorial Union.There is NO COST to attend, and a meal will be provided.Industry members, WE NEED YOU to come talk to the students, assess their work, and help us choose the award winners. We also need your input on the type/quantity of IEEE RRV Section events you'd like to see in the future.Students, BRING YOUR FRIENDS. This is an opportunity to meet practicing engineers who may be your colleagues or supervisors in the future.Agenda:- 6-7pm Social Hour: food, drinks, and senior design posters/projects on display.- 7-8pm Program: senior design teams will briefly summarize their work, followed by voting + awards. IEEE officers will also discuss future events that are either planned or under consideration.Agenda: Agenda:- 6-7pm Social Hour: food, drinks, and senior design posters/projects on display.- 7-8pm Program: senior design teams will briefly summarize their work, followed by voting + awards.
