He's a young hacker who apparently hacked the iphone and Play Station 3, but now has founded a self driving car system designed for older cars.

Pretty interesting character, this is a [1] good interview about him and his ideas.

He's the infamous jacket that is know for rooting the iPhone as well as the PlayStation. He also gets press every so often for trolling musk and Tesla with his self driving startup that aims to hack regular production vehicles to self drive. Probably working on code related to self driving.

Guy who stole jailbreaks from IRC and went public with them, falsely claiming he created the hacks.

Creator of "live hack" youtube videos he later admitted were scripted and fake.

Founder of ridiculous self driving car company that never had a chance of going anywhere.

He's a charlatan.

Based on the video playing on his screen it looks like he is working on parts of the autonomous driving system, most likely related to the startup that he was Head of Research for, called comma.ai

IIRC, he + the CEO raised a bunch of money to work on his own self-driving car designs, which culminated in a prototype that wasn't as feature-rich as some of the better capitalized players, which had been demoed a few years back in limited capacity over the last few years. He just got kicked out, as reported in TC on the 18th of last month though, so maybe he's making his own new thing.

Search on YT for comma.ai and you'll see some good content.

[ edit: past tense, was Head of Research for. ]

Google up GeoHot. Early jailbreaks on iOS. PS3 stuff.

Become a lot more mature in the last few years, smart guy.

Edit: not a must watch individual, but see what he is up to every so often.
