Padmasree Warrior on Designing Autonomous Vehicles [video]

  That video (or at least its transcript) isn't very useful. Nio has built a self-driving supercar. A real race car, it's doing quite well on empty tracks. Even Road and Track is impressed.[1] It costs $1.5 million. Each. They've built about 9 cars. This is a China-based startup. Founder is William Li. Crunchbase doesn't know anything about him. Anyone have more info? Baidu is the lead investor. $600M invested so far. About 2,000 employees. This is the highest-funded self-driving startup. It's not clear where they go from here, but they have a lot of resources.

    The article linked does not mention "autonomous" or "self driving". It just looks like an electric powered supercar (which sets a mighty impressive lap time)?
