Almost all technical problems of self-driving cars are solved by current algorithms once we get 100x faster HW, i.e. processing at 1000 fps instead of 10, making things like tracking, collision avoidance, vision, etc. trivial; the only problem left is path planning (down to inch resolution with dynamic vehicle models), which is coincidentally NP-hard and there is very little hope to get it to human level in reasonable time (Waymo is still orders of magnitude worse than an average human).
- lsc 8y ago>Almost all technical problems of self-driving cars are solved by current algorithms once we get 100x faster HW, That sounds off to me, because my understanding is that the computer is a small portion of the cost and the mass of the self-driving car. If you could solve the problem by just filling up the back seats with computers, someone would have prototyped it, and probably even brought it to market as a way to drive large vehicles. (I mean, unless you were on some non-parallelizable process, but my understanding is that most image processing tasks are massively parallel.)
