My internship at Daimler-Benz used Inmos transputers in the vision system and control system for a completely autonomous vehicle project.

I've written a few comments about it before on HN:

Did you work with Ernst Dickmanns or his students on self-driving cars @ Daimler, they were (arguably) the first?

Yes. My direct boss was Andreas Kuehnle. Ernst Dickmanns was my boss's boss (or maybe my boss's boss's boss). I met him during one of our vehicle demonstrations and presented my final intern project review to a panel that included him.

He may have also been the higher-up boss that our system threw to the ground during a false-positive emergency braking event as described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10333126

That's great - thanks for sharing!
