True, it would be pretty awesome if Cruise had some of their code open sourced to have a peek at their technology. I was looking at Google's Cartographer and it's pretty neat to see some of their SLAM work. It would be nice to see something equivalent from Cruise that shows what they're capable of without revealing all of their tricks.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoI don't disagree, but you did see where Levandowski got $120 MILLION DOLLAR BONUS from Google right? There are literally billions of dollars of investment risk riding on the outcome of self driving coding and so nobody in a 'company' context would be likely to be motivated to share anything at all about how they were going about it. It would be like asking folks who wrote lottery software to open source their PRNG implementation so that people could see how cool their technology was :-). The brief upside of 'coolness' is massively outweighed by the major downside of 'used this against you and cost you millions.' right?
