I love this. We’re on “Hacker” News, and people are in denial that cars are going software-first :D

I drive a Toyota Mirai, brother has a Model 3. Mirai is like a plasticky HP laptop vs. the Tesla's MacBook, not to mention the stillborn hydrogen network or the ML-centric team of Tesla autopilot.

Lidar is active (so lower res than vision) and uses slightly longer wavelengths (again, lower res). Visible light uses passive solar illumination by day, power-efficient, far more data; and is a problem you need to solve for reliable autono

Your idea of what a car is going to be, is wrong. It’s going to be a special-purpose mind on wheels, and no one knows how to develop one yet.

They’ll mostly go out of business. They’re 7 years behind Model S and staffed with MechE’s not ML researchers.

“Doing AI” is soon going to mean evolving a mind at scale, which is a lot harder than known manufacturing.

Nope. Car differentiators are going to be tablet screen + special-purpose AI. Dumb cars = vinyl.

Manufacturing is well-understood, self-driving is research. Dumb cars = flip phones shortly.

My vague impression is they were conservative, didn't make the leap to Net valuations based on traffic and little revenues.

- Only a matter of time (evolved AGI research) before vision suffices. We know it can work because of bio evolution. - Also only a matter of time before lidar cheap enough that even Tesla will add for redundancy and edge cases.

Toyota also made its big platform bet on mild hybrids and hydrogen, which Elon rightly scoffed at. No doubt there was big culture friction.
