Interesting tidbit: Hotz actually means thief in a few languages. I actually don’t believe this guy. He may be brilliant, but there are quite a few brilliant people working on this problem - so no.
You've piqued my inner language geek, but cursory Googling / Google Translate hasn't given me any luck. What language(s) would that be?
What would the point of current self-driving car systems be? If you can't take your attention off the road anyway, it's basically a glorified, expensive cruise control.

This guy is all talk and represents one problem with Silicon Valley. There are a lot of people now who can talk the talk and get the attention needed to get money but with no ability to deliver. Stop giving him attention until he actually shows something that matches even a little bit of what he is promising. People who know what they're doing technically are deeply aware of the issues with their technology. Anyone i…
You are aware we are giving away open source software that will control your car, right? It's online today! And it's on par with the best systems money can buy, Tesla Autopilot and GM Super Cruise. https://github.com/commaai/openpilot No ability to deliver?
In general, are there any standardized tests for self driving cars, like car safety ratings but for the driving part? Basically, is there even a way to measure how good a driving system is?

I still consider geohot too egotistical in his approach, and that it will not bear fruits. That big commercial companies are pulling bad tricks is one thing but that doesn't mean one lone motivated (and talented) wolf can reach the goal.
Try to poach some waymo guys or some robotics to team up.

You can't give bits and piece of automation for a vehicle. Mainstream tech is all about making it fool proof. Not giving warnings and calling about weighted death stats.

Ever drive 8-12 hour days for 2 days straight? Used to do it 4-5, but sometimes up to 10, times per year. I'd pay many thousands for lane-keeping on rural interstates in a heartbeat.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Tesla and Uber did seriously disappoint. It's even below that but still. I'm dubious about the capabilities of comma.ai system and calling it on par with Tesla after dissing it is a bit disingenuous.

I think they are very capable. Maybe their tech is not ready now, but who knows in 2-5 years where they will be.

Their low level control is done in Python, on top of Android, on a smartphone. No further comment, your honor.
