Good point. That extends the ROI of the original investment, so it feels like a no brainer.
The big assumption is the retrofit market. Is that something anyone is talking about? Is that something Waymo and the like will be offering?
My point is: it makes sense, but is it the low hanging fruit someone will be going after right way? Or will this happen down the road?
- gpt5 5y agoIn a way, Waymo is already in that business - as all the cars they use are retrofitted.

- Retric 5y agoWaymo is solving this for a handful of specific models, they would need to do significant work to adapt their system to say a 2010 Corolla let alone more exotic stuff. It’s not just physical instillation their models would have to be adapted for different camera placement, vehicle weight, etc.
- jfoster 5y agoBut not to the point where they are selling kits. They retrofit a specific vehicle for use in their service. I think CommaAI is the closest to a kit, but it probably will never quite reach "no-human-required" autonomous driving; I don't think they're even aiming for that. https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/docs/CARS.md https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/docs/CARS.m...
