We're working on riderless and balance-assisted bicycles and motorcycles. We're working to ship our flagship bike and we're about to launch a balance-bike for kids that helps them learn faster and sets up virtual bumpers while they learn.
Cool video of moto carrying stuff (just like the 2016 google prank vid)

- nosequel 3y agoYou should track down the one-man team from the first DARPA Grand Challenge who made an autonomous motorcycle. I was on a team with a real truck, so I didn't have to figure out how to balance a two-wheeled vehicle while also trying to figure out how to autonomously make it through an obstacle course. From an insiders view, we all thought he was the star of the show.
- beedeebeedee 3y ago> the one-man team Pretty sure there were several engineers (engineering students) involved
- boxcardavin 3y agoThis will sound like a joke, but that was Anthony Levandowski
- nosequel 3y agoHoly shit I never put that together. He was always just tinkering in his garage by himself as far as I remembered. We had a lot of bugs in our truck (like everyone) so we would get burned out and walk around and talk to each other. There was a lot of sharing with the smaller teams. Way later I realized I had a long conversation with Sebastian Thrun about how we did our throttle feedback actuator. He was lucky to have a drive-by-wire SUV and we were all mechanical. Those were super fun times hanging out at the raceway for trials those first two years.
