Sounds fun. Best of luck.

Thank you Aaron!

Fun fact: at least in the United States, chiropractors do not have medical degrees and so they are not licensed doctors.

I just want to congratulate you on launching a product that I hope will have an incredibly positive impact for numerous families. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!

Congrats to Jason and Cai! I don't know how much their product/service has changed, but I remember it making my life so much easier when I was raising money for my company.

3% is not a rounding error. There are industries with smaller profit margins than that.

That's a pretty sweet machine. Can't wait to see it first hand.

It's not a uniform distribution.

Why not apply for a job?

Many of them left. Some are still there working on things related to robotics, such as Verb Surgical. I'm sure a few became more traditional software engineers, although I don't know any personally.

Just so applicants are aware, YC founders no longer have access to Pier 9.

by jayjay71 10y ago
Obviously you should listen to Michael over me, but as a former YC founder with a robotics startup I agree that you should probably wait until you're more focused on growth than prototyping.

You clearly made the comparison between Uber's technology and the legally blind. Looking at your other comments, it seems you want to argue more than you want to have a constructive conversation. I'm exiting this thread.

You're assuming that because it missed the traffic light once it will do so every time. The real world is a dynamic environment, something odd may have happened that it just missed the light that one instance. I am not condoning Uber a

Delphi actively looks for traffic lights at every intersection with their self-driving technology, or at least they used to.

I can't believe I'd never thought of Google Earth in VR. That looks amazing.

by jayjay71 10y ago
What resolution is necessary to read standard text with VR? I'd imagine it would start to become usable for this at 4k per eye, and even then I suspect it would be limited.

I know plenty of people that refuse to work for defense contractors for large sums of money, and many others who refuse jobs in finance because they expect a miserable experience. Plenty of people consider things besides salary when taking

How many companies will still be around in 50+ years?

I think the automakers realize they need self-driving technology and are willing to pay a premium for the right team to jumpstart the program.

If there's that much political showmanship in the military, how effective is the US military against a real threat? I'm aware that no system is perfect and obviously the US military is highly tied to politics, but I didn't r

This is admittedly an old article so hopefully the engineering has improved since then, but to the best of my knowledge it's still an issue. Maybe they made significant improvements to the battery pack in the P100 though. http:/

by jayjay71 10y ago
Do you have a source for that?

by jayjay71 10y ago
I'm biased because I used to work with many of the people Uber hired for self-driving cars, but they bought really great engineering talent. Great talent doesn't mean much though if the management is bad, and after their whole

by jayjay71 10y ago
I also forgot they bought Otto. I think self-driving cars are a long way away, but I believe self-driving trucks could potentially be viable in a few years - and the market is massive . Maybe they can commercialize that soon enough to sa

When does Uber run out of money? I think the timeline on their R&D projects is longer than their runway, and I'm not sure how many more people would be willing to write Uber a 10 digit check.

People might just destroy the robot for fun though. http://www.iflscience.com/technology/hitchhiking-robot-manag... I haven't thought through the economics on these systems, but there are enough startups working o
