Don’t listen to this person. Take all the time you need. The impatience of a few loud, litigious people is no counterbalance to public safety except where lunatics are concerned.
"Sebastian Thrun. He told me the whole industry is about to reboot. And then I saw why he said that. He literally invented the modern autonomous car field.
He started Google’s autonomous team and told me he made a mistake going with LiDAR."
To what end? I value my anonymity here. I wish there was a way to anonymously bet money on these outcomes. I'd bet you $10K (the cost of the thing) that there will be no "FSD" "later this year" like Tesla is promising.
It is also baffling that people still read Scoble who knows nothing about anything.
A valid argument on why you think Thrun is wrong would have served stance point better.
We (humans) can only do this purely optically because we have general intelligence and extensive knowledge about the world. The FSD computer in your Tesla does not.
Do they use lidar/radar/magnetic sensors ?!
Naively, i assume waves/spray is a one-time technical hurdle, but after this it is much easier to get autonomous ships?
There's a reason why I asked if you could share your work. Because those two individuals are clearly at the top of their field. If your thesis is correct, then it's easily worth 100+M if not 1B+ USD in value.
It's easy to be hyper critical, compared to actually being in the trenches trying to solve these hard problems.
