Big fan of the comma ethos: build -> ship -> improve -> repeat 🔁A small group of people making something epic

So good the indepth tour and seeing the magic on what makes my driving so chill for the past 3 years. Using it all fhe time in my 2021 rav4 hybrid. It was worth every penny. Cant imagine the cost to keep this operation running daily especially with the food/drinks, great that comma takes care of their employees. Hope they continue doing that!! I

Great video. When I have the money I will be adding this to my Kia Niro EV and making some travel vlogs.

Very cool office! Keep up the good work.

Comma, get ready for the Aptera surge! It will be great for both companies!

Did Yassine lose a whole person of weight there? Wow looking awesome. Remembering back from comma con last year. Go VQVAE and Transformers!

Wow, what a cool place to work.

I'd love to work for Comma. I'm experienced in Site Reliability Engineering and Software Engineering with a little bit of Data Science. Recently setup a cluster of servers in my basement, running Kubernetes for my little startup ideas. Currently not employed for any company and just doing my own stuff on the side but I used to work as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at T-Mobile. Would love to get an opportunity to interview and work for Comma in a couple of months from now. The offices look great and fun to work around. I love the cutting edge work you guys are doing there and would love to contribute.

You have to complete the bounty

Not just an F150 for your next fleet vehicle, but an F150 Lightning!!

All the best!! I am wondering if generic dashboard camera recorded videos will help you to train your model. If yes, could you make a provision to upload the videos? Techies like to help open source projects.

Have you considered using training farms to train your robot (ie. thousands of virtual robots all trying to navigate different environments and accumulating training prowess) ?

36:54 why is this not ready for mkbhd? Please make him review it.

yeah, that can get a lot of traction

Lateral control on the 2018 Prius isn't smooth and experimental mode tries to run stop signs a lot. Hopefully with the next update I can switch back to Openpilot.

I though it was just me! I love open pilot on the highway, but it rolls every single stop sign.

I am surprised that they go straight from pick-and-place to full assembly and stress testing without any testing in between. It's kind of weird. If you build all the way to stress testing and it fails, you would have spent, let's say, 5 hours on a unit that could have been caught if you had done board-level testing. If you are relying solely on the AOI to catch any misplaced components, that's why you aren't doing tests until it's fully assembled. I would say that BGAs are a nightmare, especially for an in-house company without a x-ray machine. Also, I hope you are taking into account the humidity-sensitive components since you are in San Diego.

cool, the video was a bit shaky use a stabilizer gimbal or tripod

cool place.

you have great engineering/hacker spirit i don't understand why are there not hundreds of devs lined up at the entrance

few super devs greater than legion to manage. not a dev myself but have been following the scene for years with tesla. comma and tesla are so similar but so different. comma on stealth mode and tesla with the megaphone. catgirl incoming!

Does comma have 2 researchers called Yasine?! Almost didn't recognize him from the talk he did 8 months ago 😅

I think getting the F-150 would be a great idea! Love the progress and the open sharing. Thanks!

How about a discount code in honor of Memorial Day??? I missed out on the free harness from a few months ago.

good luck

Works fine. They also have comma prime lite, basically prime without connectivity. You can put your own data sim in and use all prime features.

the comma robot is cool... would it be cooler if it had a larger screen for more physical touch interaction ....and could build like an app store for it

Outside of the technical stuff; with the median price of a house in San Diego being almost 1M and even rent being 3K-4K how do you guys hire people? Unless people already live there and have already bought into that outrageous economy I would think it would be hard to recruit people into that area from the outside.

How much power yall pulling these days. does comma have solar on the roof. I love that you have a real kitchen prolly making meatballs for geo. Do yall have any room for a veggie garden? (maybe courtyard). I teach/manage a school garden in texas and makes for a great learning environment plus less expensive, better food. I would love to help in the journey and good local food/veg is necessary in my opinion to fuel great innovation and self-reliance. Hit me up and win.

10:40 you locked the door then opened it?!

the same stack won't work with robotics. there is a reason robots still don't walk better than Asimo 20y ago. I work since a long time on a self-model for robotics (so a model learns the kinematics with a interpretable latent space by itself from predicting the next state with constant calibration embedded in the feedback loop itself). the key here is to build a inner representation of the rigid body in the physical world, by implicitly restricting it to something akin to lagrange mechanics and making it learn our observed laws of physics in a way that is easy to get gradients from plus acts as an adapter interface so we can plug the model into its own simulation (key is to not use "real" physic simulation software, since it's too slow and inaccurate. the model itself is the simulation, like a brain when it dreams). this would allow us to basically learn a cerebellum for any robot body no matter how cheaply manufactured, from zero like a baby does, with constant adjustments to have everything calibrated (and thus not one fixed model for one particular robot, but many foundational models like we have in LLMs). this means though we need a completely new architecture since we can not embed PINN techniques (which does not give a representable latent space that we can plug into a simulation to learn a particular high level policy like standing up). attention layers or simple end-to-end do not work for this case, very obviously since we would have otherwise already robots that walk as fluently as a cat. we are still far away from it, that's why I focus on a complete new architecture and try to reinterpret how we see (or rather how the machine should see) the physical world and its restrictive nature of how bodies act in it, directly embedded into various new physics aware layer types

No mat was grounded, not a single ESD strap. Is there no static discharge in California?

@@deedeebulldog1 Well, on one hand you have recommendations to protect board components from a human body discharge, and on the other hand you have recommendation that treats the boards as if there had no protection. Is that correct? The industry statistic seem to generalize across industry. But it's one thing when there is big corporation doing cost cutting and another small company with couple people people doing design and also analyzing failures. And then there is extensive device testing that they after production - something tells me that ESD during assembly is not their main failure cause, if at all. - Of course, that is a speculation. And of course a strap wouldn't hurt.

most tables in the production room have (grounded) ESD mats on them actually! on the other hand, we're close to the coast, so yes, static discharge is less of an issue here. ESD failures during production are also super rare in our experience (we look into and fix pretty much all failed boards, usually it's soldering issues or bad component placement)

doing a neural simulator is probably a dead end. to reach usable quality is way harder than the autopilot task itself

i'm glad they put the least trustworthy techbros in charge of this self driving apparatus

Datadog + yoga studio but only made $5… hope you guys make it because that’s kinda concerning

Why don't you just make these in China?

I don't encourage anyone to use autonomous driving in this way; but you should definitely train driverless AI models on driving footage of people evading cops in high speed chases; I feel it would teach the driverless AI to maneuver even better. But again I'm not advocating for anyone to acutally use the AI in this way; just think that it may help develop a better model.

whoever 720p'd this should get fired

No WFH, thats a great way to close yourself off from some great engineers lmao

Self Driving is a pipe dream. better spend your precious time and resources elsewhere.
