John Krafcik, Former Waymo CEO thinks Tesla can’t solve autonomy with a vision-only approach. “Human vision is so much more capable than the vision of a car equipped with seven 5-megapixel cameras — only one of which is narrow-view, while all the others are wide-view. So you’re basically dispersing...

Uber CEO on Tesla using Camera Vision over LiDAR: “I think in the near-term it’s going to be very difficult, and Elon Musk would tell me I’m wrong, and never bet against him, but it’s my instinct — in the near-term it’s going to be very difficult to build a camera only product that has superhuman level of safety. Will it be possible? Quite possibly yes. If you can have instrumentations that include cameras and LiDAR ; the cost of Solid State LiDAR is only $400-$500— WHY NOT include LiDAR as well in order to achieve superhuman safety. So, possible? Yeah it will be — I don’t know when, but is possible the better product? I’m not sure. All of your partners right now are using a combination of camera, Radar and LiDAR, and I personally think that’s the right solution— but I could be proven wrong.”

Tesla’s vision-only approach to solve FSD got laughed at for many years. People called it reckless, said just cameras would never be enough, and even claimed Tesla was cutting corners. Fast forward to today, it’s pretty clear who was right. “It’s so obvious you can solve this with cameras. Why wouldn’t you solve with cameras? It’s 2026. The self-driving problem is not a sensor problem, it’s an AI problem. The cameras have enough information already. It’s a problem of extracting the information, which is an AI problem.” - Ashok Elluswamy, VP of AI at Tesla. Just like us humans, we drive with eyes, we walk with eyes, literally we do everything with our eyes. We don’t have lidar spinning and laser beams on our heads. We simply see the world and our brain figures it out… all from vision. For so many years, the industry treated autonomy like it was a hardware problem. Like “if cameras struggle, just add more sensors.” That’s exactly how companies like Waymo ended up with sensor towers that look like crazy science projects. So ugly btw too… That approach might have made sense in 2008, but not today! Bc back then, AI wasn’t good enough to truly understand the world. So engineers had no choice but to lean on lidar and radar for help. But today, cameras capture insane amounts of information, I’m talking billions of pixels every second. The thing that was missing was AI intelligence. And when AI can understand why a car is slowing or why a pedestrian is hesitating, or real world things, you just need a better brain instead of more sensors. And now, everyone else is realizing this… the future of autonomy was always about understanding the world through vision, just like we humans do. That’s the bet that Elon and Tesla made early on… he was already years ahead of everyone, when everyone was doubling down on LiDAR and radar, even when so many people mocked them for switching early. Tesla vision for the win!!! 🥇

Here's Elon Musk in 2020 explaining why cameras with AI vision is all you need to achieve full autonomy. “The entire road network is designed for passive optical, essentially vision. In order to make a car drive properly, you have to solve vision. At the point at which you solve vision, you really don't need any other instruments. A careful human driver can drive with an extremely good track record. Unlike a human, the computer does not get tired, it has 360-degree surround cameras, it's got three cameras pointing forward. It's like being able to see with eyes in the back of your head. Vision is the way to go. There's some value to active optical for a wavelength that's occlusion-penetrating, so it can see through fog, or rain, or dust. But it has to be high resolution, such that you can rely on it, for example, for radar at roughly a four-millimeter wavelength. This is good for occlusion penetration. But it needs to have enough resolution to know that you're braking for a real object and not just a bridge or a manhole cover or something like that.” Axel Springer Pioneers Talk, December 1, 2020

Elon Musk in a new interview this morning on Tesla FSD: "In terms of having self-driving be ubiquitous, I think we’re making steady progress. The Tesla Full Self-Driving software, which is really just AI and cameras, we don’t use radars or LIDAR or anything like that. It’s really trying to drive the car in the same way that a human drives the car, primarily with vision and with a biological neural net. We take the same approach with our vehicles, which is a digital neural net and cameras. I expect this approach to ultimately be at least an order of magnitude safer than humans driving. It is quite magical because the car feels like it is sentient. It actually feels like it’s alive and you can actually, as we improve the software, feel the sentience growing in the car. We already have some vehicles operating with no people inside with no safety monitors in three cities in Texas and probably will be widespread in the US by the end of this year and hopefully in Israel too" Tesla FSD is beginning to feel more and more sentient with each update, it’s incredible. All without the use of Radar or LiDAR. It’s all about the 🧠.

The future of warfare. "Anyone who's making contact with the enemy is going to have superhuman augmented vision that allows them to never miss anything. You have extraordinary superhuman hearing." "You're able to mark targets in the environment without projecting anything in the environment. You can seamlessly see in your heads-up display where all of your friends are, where all of the innocents and noncombatants are, and have that all just seamlessly presented to you as if you're Superman. You can see through walls. You can see through night. You can see through fog. You are Superman." Palmer Luckey

SHE IS SO REAL 😭😭 🗣️: Jimin, Stay as far away as possible from a pair of scissors. I’m not even joking. If I arrive at the Stade de France on July and I see that Jimin has cut his hair, I will burn down the entire stadium along with the person who cut it. 🗣️: You think I’m overreacting? Absolutely not. In no universe, on no planet, am I missing out on this Jimin. None. Jimin’s current era—you don’t have the vision yet, but don’t even worry, you’re going to get the vision. 🗣️: You’re going to have panoramic vision, peripheral vision, binocular vision, even night vision if necessary, but you will have the vision. You’re going to see Jimin with long hair, plus a bun, wet, in a tank top, in 35-degree heat at the Stade de France. 🗣️: Everyone, from the entire Stade de France staff to the security, will have the vision. Because, excuse me, but not having the vision of this man... of this man! It’s insane. The man is so incredible, it’s like he just escaped from a fairy tale, okay? 🗣️: So Jimin, for the survival of the Stade de France and your hairdresser: stay as far away as possible from a pair of scissors. That’s all I had to say for today.

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe in new interview on self-driving: "Tesla's got a huge fleet. So our approach is we have to catch up with them and compete. And so we're going to have more cameras with better dynamic range. We're going to supplement that with LiDAR that provides better safety for edge case conditions and allows us to train the vision models faster. And the incremental cost to do that is relatively small. And in fact any of the incremental costs that would have been there on its own is offset by the fact that we brought inference in house and reduced the cost of our inference platform so dramatically from what we have in your car. Your car uses an Nvidia inference platform. I say all this because in like the infinite long-term you know, you could make the case that once the models are very very robust you could have less cameras or you may be able to get away with less radar. It's not clear yet if that's the case for covering all these corner cases."

So I think that’s going to be focus and that will help Isaac.” JPM:“ARE THEY REALLY??? I MEAN THE BASELINE PROBABLY IS BUT ONCE YOU KNOW MAX DRIVES IT AND GOES I DON’T LIKE THIS IT NEEDS TO GO THIS WAY. THAT’S WHERE THE TEAM IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION. DO WE JUST GO ON MAX WAY AGAIN OR DO WE GO GENERIC?” “And how do they actually do that as well? Because the car has not hit the track, is such a different, it’s going to be a different generation of cars. So all they’re doing is looking at data, simultator details I guess, that the drivers will be working on. Max will be working on, but you know, they’re going to be led by his feedback at this point. Well, they’re not going to take Yuki’s feedback and think we’re going to go that way.

Sanders: But there is another vision out there as well—a darker vision. It is a vision which says that we must give up on democracy, that we are too stupid and inept to govern ourselves, and that we must put more and more power into the hands of one man. It is a vision that says we should accept an economy in which a handful of oligarchs have unbelievable wealth while the vast majority of our people struggle to put food on the table. It is a vision that says the only thing that matters in life is the accumulation of money and power—and that it is OK if we lie, cheat, and steal to achieve those goals. It is a vision which says that we must hate each other because of where we were born, hate each other because of a different language someone speaks, hate each other because of differences in the color of our skin, or our religion, or our sexual orientation. It is a vision that foments hatred, division, and more division. It is an Orwellian vision, which says that we must live in a constant state of fear—that we must always have an enemy and that we must always be at war. It is a vision which says that we have unlimited amounts of money for bombs and guns and killing, but never enough money to feed our children, provide affordable housing, or enable our parents to retire with dignity.

During the snowstorm that is sweeping through the U.S. right now, the safest vehicle you can be in is in a Tesla with FSD bc it can react faster than any human or gas car. An electric motors respond in milliseconds. When a wheel starts to slip on snow or ice, Tesla’s sensors detect it up to 1,000 times per second, and the computer instantly cuts or redistributes power to the wheels with grip. On the other hand, gas cars have major delay and don’t have this capability… That means if your Tesla hits a tiny patch of ice, the car corrects it right away, even before you even feel it, almost like the car is thinking ahead. If you don’t believe me listen to the man that built it. Joe: “What happens if you get sideways in the snow? Like, does it correct for that?” Elon: “Yeah. Electric cars have really great traction control because the reaction time is so fast. So, with a gasoline car, you’ve got a lot of latency. It takes a while for the engine to react, but for electric motors, incredibly precise…. But to an electric motor, it’s operating at the millisecond level. So, it can turn on and off traction within, like, inches of getting on… let’s say, you’re driving on a patch of ice, it will turn traction off, and then turn it on a couple inches right after the ice, like a little patch of ice because in the frame of the electric motor, you’re moving incredibly slowly. You’re like a, you’re a snail. You’re just moving so slowly because it can see at a thousand frames a second. And so, it’s like, say ‘one Mississippi’, it just thought about things a thousand times.” Joe: “So, it has realized that your wheels are not getting traction. It understands there’s some slippery surface that you’re driving on.” Elon: “Yes.” Joe: “And it makes adjustments in real-time.” Elon: “Yes, in milliseconds.” Joe: “That would be so much safer than a regular car.” AKA, buy a Tesla if you want to be in the safest car in the world. 💯

Steve Jobs on leadership In the clip below, Steve argues: “The greatest people are self-managing. They don’t need to be managed. Once they know what to do, they’ll go figure out how to do it… What they need is a common vision, and that’s what leadership is. Leadership is having a vision, being able to articulate that so the people around you can understand it, and getting consensus on a common vision.” Borrowing from his tagline for the original Mac, Steve continues: “we wanted people who were insanely great at what they did… and the neatest thing that happens when you get a core group of ten great people is that it becomes self-policing as to who they let into that group. So I consider the most important job of someone like myself to be recruiting.” This observation on the importance of getting the first ten people right is a refrain you constantly hear from the very best founders. As Patrick Collison put it: “A large part of the reason why the first ten people you hire are so important is because you’re not just hiring those first ten people. You’re actually hiring 100 people, because you should think of each of those people as bring along another ten people with them.” The best leaders recruit “insanely great” people and align them around a common vision.

The founder of Pinterest on what surprised him the most when starting a company “It can take a really, really long time to build things that are worthwhile.” Ben Silbermann describes just how demoralizing things were in the beginning of building Pinterest: “In March 2010, we launched Pinterest and were at 3,000 accounts. And that wouldn’t have been so bad if we hadn’t started building Pinterest in November 2009. And that wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t left my job to start a company in May 2008.” A lot of people will compare startups to running a marathon, but Ben disagrees: “The part of the analogy that’s right is that it’s long. But it’s actually really different. When I think about my experience, it’s more like going on a roadtrip in a car that doesn’t have very good headlights and you don’t have much gas and you think you’re going to Toledo, but you find out you’re supposed to be in Miami and if you really have to buy gas you might have to buy gas from someone who might just kick you out of your own driver’s seat.” He continues: “That uncertainty and the fact that every single day you’re dealing with a lot of choices and you don’t have perfect information is the lesson for me that was hardest to learn and continues to be a real challenge in doing a startup today.” Source: Y Combinator (Oct 2012)

Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen explains why your initial vision for your company is probably wrong When Ryan first applied to Y Combinator he wanted Flexport to be “TurboTax for customs.” But that vision changed a lot. As Ryan explains: “The more you learn and the more customers you talk to and the more vendors you talk to, the more you realize how screwed up the world is in this space. Then [the vision] actually gets bigger and bigger and keeps expanding.” Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan says this is a common pattern he sees in startups too: “There’s a misconception that you wake up from a haze and you’re like ‘This is it. This is the vision.” But the story is actually ‘Oh here’s this thing that I know I can solve.’ And then once you solve it and people really like it, it sort of expands and expands.” Ryan concludes: “If a founder is too certain of exactly what the vision is and what the product’s going to look like and how it’s all going to work, they’re probably wrong. The world is super messy.” Source: Garry Tan (Mar 2022)

Uber CEO in new interview on which approach to autonomy will win: Tesla’s camera-only or Waymo’s multi-sensor. "In the near term, I think it's going to be very difficult—and Elon would tell me I'm wrong—to build a camera-only product that has superhuman levels of safety. At some point will it be possible? Quite possible yes; Solid state LiDAR is $500. Why not include LiDAR as well in order to achieve super human safety. All of our partners are using a combination of camera, radar and LiDAR, and I personally think that's the right solution, but I could be proven wrong."

One of the functions of a president is to explain to us why we should be proud of each other, why we are part of a community, why our country is great, what our future is going to look like, and to inspire all of us with that vision. That is what a real leader does. How can you promote your vision if you cannot give an interview?

🇺🇸 PALMER LUCKEY: THE FUTURE OF WARFARE IS A HIVE MIND OF VISION Anduril and Oculus VR founder, Palmer Luckey: "I’ve continued to believe that virtual reality and augmented reality are going to be a critical part of our military. The ability to have night vision, thermal vision, and to see where all the bad guys and good guys are, by fusing everyone’s view together like a hive mind. If I can see something, you should be able to see it. If a drone can see it, you should be able to see it. Even through walls, with x-ray vision and full command control through a heads-up display."

Elon Musk on the first thing to do when starting a company “The goal with Tesla was really to try to show what electric cars can do because people had the wrong impression. We had to change people’s perception of an electric vehicle because they used to think of it as something that was slow and ugly with low range, kind of like a golf cart. That’s why we created the Tesla Roadster — to show that it can be fast, attractive, and long range… Until you actually have the physical object and they can drive it, it doesn’t really sink in for people.” Elon believe this principle is something all startup founders should take note of: “If you’re going to create a company, the first thing you should try to do is create a working prototype. Everything looks great on PowerPoint… But if you have an actual demonstration — even if it’s in primitive form — that’s much more effective for convincing people.”
