I'm not even sure we're getting it better with just a LiDAR. But I don't know how to build in that feeling of where the car is, the proprioception that you get as an experienced driver. I'm afraid that cars will drive like 16 year olds forever. And I don't know that that's what we want.

Me too.

As a human, you can't do that either.

Freeways and trucks.
Freeways and trucks.
Self-driving on freeways and trucks, I think, is a better possibility. Freeways have a much smaller number of things that can go wrong. And it is more of... It's not a closed system.

But it is a differently constrained system.
But it is a differently constrained system.
I mean, if they had their own roads, it would be much simpler. Then it would be truly closed. And... In the meantime, I think we can get closer on freeways more than anything. I mean, there have been a lot of, most of the new cars now will have lane keeping and keeping up with the person in front of you. All of the things that the initial full self-driving Tesla did.

we can do now in you know my new bolts it is progressing whether or not we call it self-drive or if we just call it new safety features yeah i think it's getting there and i like the idea of a closed system but at some point you do go back to being a train and so you're laying track Or lane pavement that can only be used by this form of self-driving.

We'll put sensors in the roads. We'll have it monitor the car in front of you. and humidity conditions. And then the sensors in the roads will talk to the cars. Wait, wait, let me scribble this down.

Yes. There are lots of times when it's like I have a problem. I know how to fix it because I know how to wire things together. But I also have that same feeling in software. Yeah. that sometimes I can invent something just pure software. I do origami and I write Python scripts. I write very long and complicated NumPy scripts for doing origami. And I love that.
