Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast - Lex Fridman

Excellent talk with deep tech conversations, principles and thought process. Some of the questions, interesting lines I liked from the podcast
  • AI Assisted driving for a safer and better world
  • Dream of Autopilot - Autonomy revolution
  • Design Choices - Instrument Cluster, Display, Sensor suites
  • Display - Health check on vehicles perception of reality
  • Inputs - Camera, Radar, Ultrasonics, GPS
  • Information rendered into vector space with lane lines, traffic lights
  • Vector space re-rendered on display for people to understand the system
  • Considered parts / Uncertainties - Road Segmentation, Vehicle detection, object detection other techniques underlying
  • Debug Views - Augmented Vision with boxes, labels, Visualizer vector space representation from all sensors
  • Technical Aspects, Neural Network, Data, Hardware to allocate resources
  • Data - Vast amounts (12 ultrasonic sensors, GPS, IMU), 400K cars on the road
  • The massive inflow of data
  • Full self-driving computer development in progress
  • Cameras at FULL frame rate, FULL Resolution 
  • Driving - Learn from Edge Cases
  • Autopilot disengagements - Aspects / Ideas
  • Take over for convenience / Optimal spline for traversing the intersection
  • Navigate complex intersection
  • Lane change based /freeway/highway interchange 
  • Automatically overtake slow cars
  • Exit freeway
  • Full Self Driving Computer in Production
  • Tesla is Appreciating Asset
  • Navigate Parking Lots
  • Metric (Incidents per mile)
  • Assess the probability of a crash, injury, permanent injury, death
  • Video of faces/body
  • Moving from Elevator support to Automatic Elevator
  • Body Pose, Cognitive Load
  • Camera-based driver monitoring
  • More reliable than human then Driver Monitoring won't help much
  • Operational Design Domain
  • Instrument Cluster Display, Capabilities
  • Neural Net - Basic Bunch of Matrix Math
  • Learn both on valid and invalid data
  • What is a car
  • What is definitely not a car
  • Key ideas for Artificial General Intelligence
  • Tesla Goal - World's best Self Driving Vehicle
  • AI will convince to fall in love with it

Happy Mastering DL!!!
