I speak with my friend Maroof Farook who is an AI Engineer at Nvidia. [Note: Maroof’s views are his and not that of his employer.] We discuss what’s different about the self-driving approaches of Tesla and Alphabet/Google/Waymo. We cover the phases of autonomous driving, from level 1 to level 5, the capabilities of each phase, and at which phase we can eat a cheeseburger while our car drives itself. Finally, we discuss why one of the most challenging problems of self-driving cars are stop signs.
We laugh. We cry. We iterate.
