The Comma AI founder has explicitly stated that their endgame was the insurance business. I'm not sure if he has since changed his stance on this.
It makes sense, though, in a super surveillance-capitalism way. Offer a close-to-cost self-driving product and use the data to estimate the risk of everyone on the road (both the users of your product, but really anyone your product has eyes on).
The comma AI founder has said it's remarkably easy in the data to identify good and bad drivers, and that there is a strong bimodal distribution.
- wiml 6y agoThat last statement is almost more interesting than the autopilot stuff. How do they determine who's "really" a good driver in order to correlate it with whatever they're measuring that has a bimodal distribution? Is it possible to teach someone to change their driving style so that they're in the other lobe? If so do they become an actual better/worse driver?
