No hype, Just works: How Comma reached 100M miles in autonomous driving | E2011

E2011 • Sep 18, 2024 • 46 mins

Comma’s Harald Schäfer joins Jason to discuss the future of autonomous driving, Comma’s open-source approach, how camera-based systems stack up against lidar, self-driving technology developments globally, and more!

Key Points

  • Humanoid robotics remains a distant reality with current advancements still focused on improving simpler robotic systems like robot vacuums and lawnmowers.
  • Open source self-driving technology, such as Comma AI's OpenPilot, offers a transparent and cost-effective alternative to proprietary systems, but widespread adoption by major car manufacturers remains limited due to their defensive business strategies.
  • The current state of fully autonomous vehicle deployment, like Waymo's service, still relies heavily on costly remote supervision and mapping, making it economically unfeasible for scale in the near term.
