  1. I watched a news report on yet another small plane crashing into a house and killing not only the pilot/co-pilot but also a person in the house and I wondered why is that not only allowed but nobody really cares? If that had been a driverless car or a self flying VTOL or basically ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE TRIES TO INVENT IN THE LAST 30 YEARS then a single human injury or damage of any kind to some property is absolute evidence that technology should not be allowed to exist. Boeing/ULA/NASA are allowed to sacrifice people/property whenever they want but even legitimate highly trained inventors can't even do basic experiments without the fear of hitting so much as a bug or bush. If the same rules applied today for technology that was created over 100 years ago then airplanes of all sizes, helicopters, cars being driven by humans, weapons of any kind, boats, and on and on and on should be taken away because they kill thousands of people/animals and destroy property all day every day. Helicopters have insanely exposed blades but nobody even thinks about it.

    Point is, modern inventors are crushed under the weight of constant public fear involving any kind of attempt at innovation. There must be a better way forward.

  2. This makes me think that giant corporations and mega-landlords who are buying up vast swathes of properties and thus preventing the average person from purchasing their own home or having a garage to tinker in, are just finding yet another way to cripple the small inventor and allow patents only into the pockets of big-business shareholders.

  3. Without trying to ruin their effort, building an autonomous car is not that hard. Building a SAFE autonomous car is the hard part. Reliability in all the conditions and Functional Safety to start and then you have the issue of industrialization the product. Not everything is building the Proof of concept.

  4. Wooow, a self driving car that has to be driven by a person & is shown to run people over AND a flying car that DOESN'T lift off. This whole channel is a pathetic hoax.

  5. They could have started with a used EV and comma(george hotz). There's tons of open source stuff, put out by almost all universities' phd departments, that work at the intersection of LLMs and robotics. Its easy to modify a car however one wants to say by equipping it with all sorts of sensors with all sorts of tools like CNC, laser cutters and whatnot. GPUs, SBCs etc are all available very cheaply. On the software side of things Linux and a lot of stuff on github can take care of it all

  6. Saying his self-driving car "works" is a little misleading. I think the past ten years have shown that it's easy to make something that works in a parking lot or is "90% good on the road" it's that last 10% or 1% of driving competency and situational awareness that makes self-driving cars so difficult.

  7. Awesome to see! That classic industrious spirit plus what is really trillions of just accessible capital that is open source and the creative content from the communities around them really is impossibly powerful stuff!

    I hope they find out about comma 3 for the self driving bit too! Maybe they can leverage even more opensource tech and leap frog to a next milestone in some of their projects!
