  • George Hotz, the first person to hack the iPhone, says he built a self-driving car in a month. How did he do it? Bloomberg's Ashlee Vance went to Hotz's home to find out... and took his retrofitted Acura for a test-drive. (Video by David Nicholson)

      +Fredrik Blomqvist You should read the article as it elaborates quite well. Humans suck at driving, but as the system gets trained and stats are accumulated, it will perfect itself to bring human error factor down to a negligible level. A computer can memorize and perfect itself many times faster (days and months vs years and years) than a human so it's very feasible.

    This is an amazing leap in the auto technical field to bring driver-less technology to even the lowest end users. Within 20 years I can see this as being a law/requirement to add this to vehicles. This would almost completely eliminate traffic with near perfect driving. No more slow downs on highways when it is down to one lane or merging traffic. Want to take across country trip without the hassle of driving? You can start the trip at night when you go to sleep and be somewhere 8 hours away without having the feeling of the trip.

    Self driving car is not just a Car that Drive itself on middle of the road.
    Self driving means your car can drive you to your location, park itself, pickup you from the location you want, drop you to your home, park it self on to your garage without Human interaction.
    Oh!!!....Common....... This guy says Companies are fool...they already made what this guy demonstrate here. This way of self driving is fairly Insecure and unsafe. If you drive your way by this guys way I'm sure that you miss your home and car drive it self till the fuel ends.

      renkuohai @renkuohai yes! You are right. The AI program will get exponentially better over time but in the video the guy giving information to the computer is just a video feed (colour data)and with help of a sensors he can get the obstacle data. Guy in the video develops a Tracking system that can able to track road tracks and use it as a guide Lines but this system of self driving is just like a Blind man walking with his stick where the blind man know there is an obstacle in front of him but unable to say what is it. Right!!
      Now...
      > whenever you watch field test video any other self driving car ( like the Google's) they are trying to show you how much powerful and Accurate their 3D Scan technology in Real time scanning and the computer have real data which can give enough information(like depth info, shape info, mass, Measurements etc) about any obstacles in the Road to the computer and now the AI part comes here all the information which is collected from 3d scanning and Sensors the AI (software) analyses data and take Required Action. And that the exact same thing that Human do while drive a car.
      Hopefully you would get it.

      Google "deep learning library". Anyone can "implement artificial intelligence" just like anyone can swing a sword or pull the strings on a guitar. That doesn't make you a great swordsman or musician though.
      What do you think Google, Tesla, Facebook, Volkswagen, Volvo, Renault, etc are doing anyways? They are all of course "implementing artificial intelligence". Only that they actually innovate rather than just turning on cruise control on the highway.

    He's a very smart guy, but what he is doing isn't revolutionary or groundbreaking. None of the current versions use "rule-based programming" to drive cars: they're all using Deep Learning, Machine Learning and Neural Networks. The only rules in those cars are... well, follow the traffic rules i.e. don't break speed limits, learning to read stop signs, traffic signals etc.
    I've been following the field of Machine Learning/AI for a very long time. There is no way he is going to beat Google, Tesla, Volvo, Facebook etc. with this car. It's too simple and with limited experience. Google's AI car has already seen some 1+ million miles. You're gonna compare that to 10 hours of driving? That sounds like an amatuer. Oh yeah, not to forget, Tesla's autonomous capabilities have swarm intelligence... Every car contributes to the collective experience and learns from each other!!
    He's created a toy; now he needs to create a real, safe, practical and usable product with a minimum margin of error. Good luck to you, sir.

      Michael s What way specifically? That he has a genetic deformity?

You do realize that Musk is extremely assertive, strongly opposing bureaucratism due to his impatience and has at least held some role in revolutionizing 4 different industries (sustainable energy, online banking, electric/autonomous privatized highway transportation with a cars-as-software-platform business model, and superorbital space launches), whether as an investor, academic researcher, engineer, or business magnate, correct? None of those things have been done by Steve Jobs nor Geo Hotz.

    • @michaels3757
      @michaels3757 9 років тому

      There is no denying musk's potency as a creative visionary. I simply find his approach when bringing his ideas to fruition to be deplorable. Imagine being one of his engineers on Space-X, he wants to penetrate the private space sector in the infancy of private space travel. However instead of developing a current generation rocket to start, he is obsessed with simultaneously launching on a next-generation rocket platform. The man is obsessed with his visions to the point that it gets in the way of development. I imagine he surrounds himself with Yes men.
      Many people are impressed with the recent landing, however they were effectively beaten by Bezos, not to mention the fact that they have had multiple catastrophic failures on landing in the last attempts. I simply don't consider one out of three odds a success. Maybe when they demonstrate repeatable landings, I will take it back.
      Now on the subject of tesla's autonomous systems, it is hardly a novel idea from the guy, Look into VAG's (volkswagen auto group) development of autonomous systems. They have comparable systems to those recently released through tesla's firmware update, and they where released in some parts of europe before Tesla's release. The hardware has been in most audi's for a couple of years already.
      Besides, If you look at the IP portfolios of all the players in the autonomous industry, tesla is a featherweight compared to Apple and Google. But thats ok, I will be short selling the hell out of TSLA when the other players start making their moves.
      At the end of the day the man is a very good hype artist. Which gets people a long way in this world these days (as Hotz has demonstrated) But in the long game I think things will show their true nature.

The problem with his system is that it will completely fail in snow, ice, rain, fog, and night. There is a reason why you need a vast array of sophisticated and expensive sensors. Regular cameras don't cut it. Don't know what lidar he is using.
    The difference between ideal demos and ideal conditions, to the reality of horrible driving conditions and weather is ridiculously huge, you need a massive team of talented people to do that.
