Kyle is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the tech world taking on one of the most difficult and exciting problems in AI (building autonomous vehicles) and testing in one of the most challenging environments in the United States (San Francisco). Plus, he went to MIT, so it was great to have this conversation with him back on campus. Hope you enjoy as well.

Second comment! My background is materials science with research experience at Drexel University. How would you recommend getting into AI research?

Thanks Lex for sharing your MIT lectures. I am an ML engineer and your lectures have given me my next career focus...

One of the most...🤗🤗🙈💩😂

I was doing maneuvering in this field alone because of my own circumstances since I found you (Lex Fridman) with MIT open course I am super motivated and now I am getting quite confident in this field... Thank you

Really appreciate the work you put into your channel Mr Fridman. You're reaching and inspiring people all over the world. Thank you and keep up the good work.

This was great! Thank you for sharing Lex! 😊

Rating: 8.9/10 IN Short: A Smooth Inventor--Would get my Vogt Notes: Its refreshing to hear someone in the space of tech advancement, start ups, and comp sci business to be so well spoken and normal. Kyle is a great thinker and can jump back and forth from high level to details elegantly, and my only complaint about this podcast is about how short it is. I would love to know more about Kyles story--especially cruise. This is obviously something lex is super excited about, so at this point 5 years later lex you NEED TO HAVE KYLE ON AGAIN PLEASE!! This is a Great podcast for one of the first few.

Listening because of the mention on George's COMMA_CON presentation

Yo

Lex, in light of CPUC pulling Cruise’s permits (and other recent events) you have got to get Kyle back on the show.

Always inspiring to hear the journey of all these great entrepreneurs of our time. Thanks Lex for another interesting episode on autonomous vehicle! 🚗

Kyle's interview with Lex Fridman on episode 14? Awesome! Today, I've been watching talks and interviews with Justin, Michael, Emmett, and Kyle, the #TwitchFounders.

A question: once you release an autonomous vehicle to operate without a driver, how will the manufacturer know when the vehicle makes a mistake?

Trivia: I didn't know there are company's Presidents that are also CTOs. That's so cool :)

“I just took the plunge right then in there and said this this is something I know I can commit ten years to. it's the probably the greatest applied AI problem of our generation. it's right and if it works it's going to be both a huge business and therefore like probably the most positive impact I can possibly have on the world.”

my personal goal is to Transform telecommunication and transportation to create sustainable & profitable business with zero fatalities, zero congestion & net zero carbon footprint.

Great interview. I love hearing from tech people who have helped launch successful businesses. The combination of business and tech skills seems rare to me (but I may be wrong). An idea---provide startup financing in exchange for the right to film all aspects of a start up from day zero-then gather the successful start-ups and create an instructional reality show, a class, or maybe just one feature length movie, “How They Really Did It”, or some better title. I liked Kyle’s list of elements of a start-up for him: something useful for others, something that you can scale up to increase that usefulness, something with a challenging core tech problem to solve, and something you would be willing to commit 10 years of your life to. And then be willing to do all the less interesting tasks that have to be done to succeed at anything. I was moved by the background of the interview. Lex works in the AV field (I think) and is a professor at MIT, and Kyle is someone who dropped out of MIT to help create and sell two businesses for $1B, the second of which was in the AV world. I liked that Lex and Kyle delved into those choices without judgment or envy. We all have choices to make that involve money, fame, family, personal satisfaction of discovery, and other aspects of life. Not always easy. A different note: I think it would be great to bring together successful business people, scientists, economists, and futurists and brainstorm how to have the science fiction world of the future without the social and economic dystopia. As to AV, what will happen to the world when people no longer have to drive? They can live much farther out from the city, sleeping in their cars, or can work remotely from their AV and drive all over the planet. Will it be as Thomas Wolfe wrote, “you can never go home again,” or as the song goes, “we’re always home, but we’re always gone, living in a mobile home.” Thank you. William L. Ramseyer

Using OLED on the vehicle windows could project any desired images thus eliminating the emotional response to traffic etc outside the vehicle. Actually windows aren’t necessarily even a requirement and affect safety.

Great interview i would say. Most motivating fact is that he didn't regret the mistakes he made. Excelent answer. Thank you for sharing this podcast.

Kyle must be back on the show. He is an amazing person.

A really inspiring interview

Play need for speed while your car drives you safely to work.

I have been there and met this difficulties, just tell you my experience.

Yay FIRST Robotics! Was captain in 2003 & 2004 but unlike Kyle I didn't do much with my life. Still trying though.

The company is made of tens of thousands of motivated people who want to be part of the future and embrace the transformation. Greatest asset: being able to figure out how to bridge the gap between Detroit and Silicon Valley cultures.

I had to go see about a startup...Son of a bitch. Stole my line.

Autonomous vehicles today don’t seem to be as much reliant on AI as they are on thorough programing. I suspect with a thorough and complete program, AI wouldn’t necessarily be a requirement.

I had/have a similar thoughts on that too , in normal day to day driving there is not that many edge cases. Simple checking , to see if there is a clear path ahead is 95 % of the work im guessing , however , the last 5 % is very hard , so probably need AI for that , i would feel safer if both approaches work in parallel start off with a Angel System working in the background , with thorough programming and follow after with Ai when tested to exhaustion.

True, and that's the point - the problem is so hard that we've created computer systems that can do it for us. Automated driving has been tackled with traditional, manual programming years before these probabilistic approaches - still no fully autonomous vehicles though.

Give you one thinking, when that car drive to somewhere if problems happen, they probably towed away those vehicles, and those owners want get car back , need go to somewhere else maybe is another city， that’s running people crazy, can’t imagine if you deal with many owners’s case or Ai drive, no one inside, that’s tough job, I don’t think is worth to do those job. Crazy!

it'll be interesting to see what happens when these cars have 100,000, or 200,000 miles on them. All cars after 200,000 start to break down no matter how well they are built. And when that happens it ain't much of a concern when your car blows a gasket, or a belt. However, it concerns the hell out of me when an autonomous vehicle is poorly maintained and then runs down some poor bicyclist on their way home from work. I think this kyle guy should be focusing on a more efficient electric car.

If you never quit, eventually you will arrive :)

I have free ideas ...always 😏

Interesting how it's greed not anything else that really motivated

good videos and all lex. tho all the characters should get a shave like lex

First

GM hasn't made 9 million vehicles since 2017. It's been all downhill since then.

I found these interviews to be too "philosophical" and generic. Little AI talk here, few specifics, working examples, etc. I have seen like 6 interviews so far and I'm not the wiser
