Thomas Bayes was an English statistician and minister whose work laid the foundation for modern Bayesian inference. He developed a theorem that allows us to update the probability of a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available. This mathematical principle is now essential for the way autonomous vehicles interpret sensor data and navigate uncertain environments.
