Way mo money

that George dude is right

Pardoned

It's clear that Waymo's strategy revolves around the idea that a single death caused by the Waymo Driver is unacceptable. So yes, they will probably take a very long time to penetrate the entire U.S. market, but their approach feels safer to me.

Have you heard of NASA, or ULA? Waymo is same as NASA, or ULA. Waymo should be more like SpaceX.

​@@1flash3571 NASA started from scratch and sent a man to the moon in a decade. SpaceX took proven tech developed over half a century by soviets and NASA and commercialized it. You mind as well be telling the Wright brothers to forget about their stupid plane and just skip ahead to building 747's.

@@meesee6413 You don't seem to get what I am trying to say, so listen up more closely. Why do you think NASA was able to get to the moon in a decade???? It was because they were not afraid of failures, but now they are. They are more like Blue Origin which haven't done much besides launch a suborbital rocket. SpaceX isn't afraid of failures and on a small budget. You seem to forget that SpaceX improved their engine even after it was successful. They don't stop innovating. Gov't unfortunately isn't equipped mentally to failures. Same with ULA. They are there to make as much money as possible. All I am saying is that NASA needs to change their mentality and have a startup mentality.

​@@1flash3571 I understand what you're saying, I'm just disagreeing with you. There are some people who don't think progress at all costs is worth it when it comes to sacrificing human lives. NASA had a steady supply of money and human guinea pigs ready to die for the mission. If you think this is how spacex treats their manned flight program vs their cargo missions, you are ignorant. NASA is the main customer for the crew capsule and has final say on every aspect of it, including safety and risk tolerance. If you want to use untested AV tech made by Uber or some startup bro, go for it champ. Just do it on your own closed circuit where you won't take anyone out with you. I'll be happy to wait for a slow moving, methodical company to release a finished product rather than have my death be used as a data point to train some ML algo on how not to drive.

@@meesee6413 A lot to unpack here. First of all - The Wright brothers believed we would never be able to cross the Atlantic. The guys that invented the heavier than air flying machine! Now, there is an analogue there - it's however not based on imagination, rather, sadly, on profit incentive. Yes they've made the first step - and yes, for instance the Merlin engine and all of its many iterations was developed on an engine created by NASA - but look at the Raptor. No one could crack that cookie! And they did it! They're at and above 380 bar now!!! Talk about reusability... they are the only game in town! And no... don't get started on auto pilot and the current FSD beta. Those systems are fantastic - listen to the experts such as George Hotz - the only game in town is Tesla.

Scientists are always the game changers and they are only interested in the invention (Nikola. Tesla, Marija Sedlovska-Curi) but top inventions have firs to past through the hands of politicians or military, people are last users. What to say if u are man who didn't make invention but all new industry and you can not know where it will goes, or are people ready for it. Like Nobel, and Nobel dinamit , he had good intentions but the most people died from that dinamit.

is this guy the source for "big head" from silicon valley

When someone says "I don't really make moral decisions" when asked if someone he admires is a good person, the answer is no.

@@mgm8075 Neither of us can truly know his motives, or anyone else's for that matter. And while you are definitely entitled to an opinion on what you think it is, my opinion is that his main driving motive appears to be self interest ($$$) rather than advancing humanity. But I'm a cynical asshole so I would prefer to entertain your opinion if I could rewire my brain.

why does George think the silicon valley model has to be applied to Waymo to succeed? Honestly, the Silicon Valley model is not suitable for anything outside of software that requires patience and heavy lifting. Innovation preceded Silicon Valley. If you listen to Chamath's talk at Stanford, most SV models focus on metrics on paper for VCs to make money on each round while risk keeps on ballooning up until it goes public to hapless shareholders portfolio. Not saying that George is right, but there are a million ways to do things and get it right. There are lots of companies that look good on growth... and later implode.

Spacex and tesla can do it, why can't waymo?

of course you don't hire anthony levandowski. He stole technology that he helped build, and was paid handsomely for at another company. He needs to spend some amount of time in jail to learn what he did wrong. After that, perhaps he can re-join the industry. Being talented should never give you a license to be unethical, and he was egregiously unethical, and got caught. - There are other very talented people in the autonomous industry who, i'm sure, can also accomplish impressive things similarly to him.
