It's a fascinating video. Does anyone know of a similar video by Waymo, Cruise, Uber, etc?

Love them or hate them its pretty cool Tesla put this video out at all. Certainly gives us all a lot to talk about.

This is from 6 months ago so pretty up to date. Drive with Nvidia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W9q5SjaJTc

Nvidia is in an interesting spot - trying to create chips and toolkits for self driving without anyone actually having created the full self driving solution yet. How do you know that if you buy the new AGX chip from them you'll actually end up with a product someone will buy? Some of the other tier one suppliers (I'm looking at you, Continental) are kind of in the same boat.

If you're not doing your own chip design and fab, there's really no one else in town to buy from. AMD, Intel have fallen well short in GPUs. TPUs from Google/Amazon are a more likely threat long-term.

Zoox regularly posts their CV perception layer into their videos. Eg https://twitter.com/zoox/status/1222226139252281346

That one is great! Moving into an oncoming traffic lane to get around stopped trucks. One of those things I would consider difficult for machines - when is it OK to break the normal rules of the road.

The cruise team has put out a few videos in the past. They even showcased their visualization software.

There used to be a lot 5+ years ago.
