About this conversation
Confession: I don't really care about cars. But I *love* the idea of self-driving cars.
So what's the status of this idea? There's now a fleet of self-driving cars in San Francisco. How good are they? How safe? What are the limitations? And what are the technical challenges that still need to be overcome, and how does AI fit into all of this?
To unpack all of this, I'm joined by Noah Gedrimas, the Vice President of Strategy at GPR, a company at the forefront of the self-driving care movement. GPR is building tools that allow for precise "localization" -- letting the car know exactly where it is on the road, a crucial piece of the self-driving puzzle.
Super fun convo! After this talk I'm even more excited about this industry's future.
