01/16/23 • 35 min

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.

I speak again with my friend Maroof Farook who is an AI Engineer at Nvidia. [Note: Maroof’s views are his and not that of his employer.] This is a continuation of our previous conversation about self-driving cars. We discuss AI challenges including humans on bicycles, bicycles on bike racks, motorcycles, and other things easy for a teenager with a driving permit to figure out but hard for a computer. "Roads with fully autonomous vehicles will be a safer roads." That's what companies like Tesla developing self-driving cars are pitching. Is there any truth to that? We find out.
