There have been various autonomous 2-wheeled vehicles, though riding an autonomous vehicle that uses lean steering, like a bike, would seem to entail a little bit more excitement than I'd want to have.

#13Maybe I'm missing something, is this is a platform strictly for developing ML techniques? Or is it intended to actual run in a vehicle... on ubuntu, in a docker container?
I'm no expert, but I would think you'd want a realtime OS for this. Right?
Re: Apollo – An open autonomous driving platform
#14Autonomous driving based purely on machine learning from vision is scary. Machine learning is, after all, a statistical method. It's going to do really great most of the time, and really badly once in a while.
The exact same can be said about human drivers. Why do we demand that autonomous driving is 100% safe? I would be completely fine with autonomous cars that sometimes crash, but are still less likely to do so than with human drivers.

Imagine a driverless bicycle driving back to its base after being used byw the renter. A flywheel keeps its balance while stopped before traffic (lights), the electromotor thrusts it.

#18These open source driving platforms are an interesting way to test out the limits of liability disclaimers on software. This license has: 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You for d…
Count me out on ever contributing to a project like this. I really don't want to be a test case.

We accept that human drivers kill thousands upon thousands of people. We won't tolerate deaths from automation even in the single digits.
That may not be rational but it's also unlikely to change.

#20How many more projects are going to get launched with the name "apollo"?
Millions.
