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.
> Interesting tidbit: Hotz actually means thief in a few languages. You've piqued my inner language geek, but cursory Googling / Google Translate hasn't given me any luck. What language(s) would that be?
Here's the low-level controller for Comma AI's self-driving software. Lateral and longitudinal control, as well as actuator command are contained within. Their low level control is done in Python, on top of Android, on a smartphone. No further comment, your honor. https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/tree/devel/selfdrive/co...
It sounds to me like you don't understand how little performance you actually need for this kind of stuff. People have been writing effective autopilot software for decades using hardware that wasn't even particularly fast at the time and may as well be a pile of sand today. What exactly do you think that that code needs to do? I promise that Python on a new smartphone can do way more now than we could do 20 years ag…
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.
No level 1-3 system can get you from A to B unassisted.

Real self driving cars, on the other hand, only exist in inspirational videos.

it used to be that certain chipsets could do motor control by bitbanging the parallel port, but modern pcs/phones can no longer do this due to latency.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Yep. I love the headspace of focusing on something so simple for so long. If I weren’t going to have the experience of driving, I would just fly.
I mean, today, ditto. But for like at least 100M of the 300M+ Americans, that's not an option for various reasons...
