For those interested in mobility (including micro-mobility) and self-driving vehicle technology (from the perspective of a VC), I highly recommend Riley Brennan's "Trucks | Future Of Transportation" weekly newsletter: http:&

This looks great! Thanks for sharing. Interestingly enough, from looking at the table of contents, it seems this book starts with a more (and welcome) pragmatic approach, where you write some python code before, look at data visualisation t

I completed the self-driving car nanodegree last year and currently doing the computer vision one. I did not seek a job at the end of the SDC one but I learned a lot and that could be helpful in the near future, either for my startup or if

YOLO is a very good and approachable object detection technique. I recently re-read the paper for the original YOLO [1] from 2015 and loved the apparent simplicity of this technique. As a shameless plug, I wrote an intuitive guide to unders

Costs. Installing LIDAR will significantly hike up the price of their vehicles.

Awesome. Looking forward to it.

Super awesome! I had a similar idea about a year ago but never got to implement it. We need more visual and straightforward ways to create neural network architectures. Can you currently create the architecture and run a given dataset again

This seems like a necessary reset, especially given their very high valuation. I personally enjoyed most of Udacity's Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree. The content was great and at the time I had a very supportive mentor (gutted t

Traditional car companies are also working on autonomous vehicles. There is a lot of business to be had with Level 4. While the car may not be able to go everywhere, in restricted areas a robot-taxi/shuttle service would be a great adv

Great advice. I am not seeking investment yet but this is definitely something I may have to do in the future if I want to accelerate growth for instance. After a few unsuccessful attempts working as employee in startups, I have decided to

Same thing. At least I know that Instagram is mostly all fake and ego-inflating, and I am totally fine with that. Plus I have much stricter controls on Instagram and only allow a few people to see my photos and videos.

Also, wasn't this practice (i.e. engineering to fit design goals) what made Apple successful in releasing the iPod, iPhone, etc? I am an engineer but welcome the perspective of designers and believe anyway that both need to work hand i

Nice one! I don't remember all that much from reading the Mask-RCNN paper last year and have not seen many implementations so it's nice to be presented with this Pytorch implementation. From what I recall about Faster R-CNN, the R

Since autonomous driving technology is not there yet, I believe truck OEMs should focus on ADAS to enable lane keeping and lane change on highways only, as this is the easiest part of the job. Drivers would be require to intervene as soon a

Using GPUs to mine Bitcoin is a bad idea. That's why most serious Bitcoin miners would buy ASICs. But Ethereum is much more amenable to GPU-mining so I presume NVIDIA and AMD got a lot of love (and $$$$) from this mining community.

This looks quite nice in the sense that it's an index of Deep Learning projects, but it only seems to copy the README and link to the the github projects of those papers. I thought by clicking "Get Model" I would get the mode

NVidia published a very interesting paper on this technique called "End-To-End Learning For Self-Driving Cars": https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.07316 . It's an enjoyable read. The car learns to steer itself o

The steering angles are probably automatically obtained from the script you run when manually training the toy vehicle. I presume at every frame an image is captured along with the steering angle for this image. You then create a neural net
