Thanks for the recommendation, ordered. Hartley is very valuable to know how we got to where we are, from hand tuned features and RANSAC to more modern full photometric optimization and ML. It answers a lot of "why don't we just..

This is a complex question. As you pointed out, having a high fidelity map helps to identify the part of the environment that change, creating 'deltas'. Another reason is that autonomous vehicles take data from a wide variety of s

Somewhat different to the suggestions so far, but Thrun et. al's 'Probabilistic Robotics' is a very good applied probability text, with a focus on physical systems. Plenty of worked examples and problem sets as well.

OP here. It's tongue-in cheek, in the same way that Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" is tongue-in-cheek. Please don't hurt me.

These are all questions to be addressed, along with 'how many of those miles should we upgrade', 'what will we get out of it', and 'how do we make a self-driving car'.

There are many many startups working on some fraction of the autonomy stack (e.g. Aurora) or the entire vertical (e.g. Zoox). I call out several specific ones in my comment if you care to read it through.

I work in autonomous vehicle R&D, and if we had an environment filled with reliable sensors it would considerably simplify our problem. There is no such thing as a _complete, detailed 3D map of driveable areas_. Most current efforts rel

Without revealing too much, German automakers have expertise primarily in logistics, with some expertise in automotive design. There is a vast pyramid of Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers that feed into that logistics chain. A lot of those suppli

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is a legitimate take. My thinking is this is two-pronged. It won't make sense to make the infrastructure investment until there are sufficient proof points that this is 1.) something peo

Similar background and profession - putting aside whether an individual would ever want to own one, general purpose passenger autonomy won't happen for probably another decade. Limited domain autonomy will be here in before 5 years, th

Does anyone know how much a Model S powertrain costs at salvage? I'm wondering about the total cost (less labor) of this mod.

We are at the peak of the autonomous driving hype cycle, and the trough of disillusionment is going to wipe out a few players, and see the massive consolidation of others. These start-ups are very capital intensive and once the funding envi

One interesting thing about the 'zero' approach is that it learns through self-play. So you can use a database to bootstrap the learning, but in principle you'd only need the game rules and enough training time.
