Chen: Self-Driving Cars Will Blend Deep Learning and Rule-Based Code
“And so I think we're going to see some blend of these techniques, but it's a tribute to the power of deep learning and how effective those techniques that we're even having this conversation that you could build an end to end deep learning car.”

Chen: Society Must Deploy Autonomous Cars Immediately Despite Temporary Accident Increases
“Morally, from a social point of view, we should try to get self-driving cars on the road as soon as possible, even if we get this small tick up in new types of accidents that we've never seen before due to the interaction, because the self-driving algorithms w…”

Chen: Normal historical grid expansion rates can support an all-electric fleet
“So if you added 15 gigawatts every year for 30 years, you could get to 450 gigawatts, which is just about the forecast capacity needed. So it looks like we don't have to do anything incredibly unnatural to get to the electricity production levels that we're go…”

Andreessen: Hedge funds will buy and own autonomous car fleets
“I think self-driving cars are actually gonna be, I think they're actually gonna be owned by hedge funds. So I guarantee they're not going to want to take responsibility. So I think what's going to happen is hedge funds are going to spend a billion dollars and …”

Evans: Self-driving cars will reshape urban real estate and city layouts
“What self-driving does is it transforms the layout of the city because things like parking and gas stations and strip malls and the kind of the whole layout of the retail and commercial real estate starts to change because it's all built around parking as much…”

Evans: Self-driving car insurance will cost half as much due to safety
“And those cars don't have a driver, and the insurance probably costs half as much because self-driving cars don't have accidents in the same way, because the error rate will be lower, and so the price of those self-driving, of those on-demand services will be …”

Andreessen: Self-driving cars will reduce traffic fatalities close to zero
“If the self-driving car works the way that it does, you could take that number very close to zero. Self-driving cars really should never get into accidents, because they just know so much more about what's happening around them, and by the way, they don't get …”

Edge endpoints will process data locally instead of centralized streaming
“If you think about the new world of distributed computing, the data that gets collected in a self-driving car or some endpoint is going to be, the information will be processed at that endpoint. It won't be translated back to a central storage pool. The inform…”

Wu: Rural areas will require human drivers for a long time
“And also, I think for self-driving cars it will heavily rely on data, especially mapping data. So, I think for certain space, like rural regions or tough road, and people seldom drive, we don't have enough data there, it's probably still need human drivers the…”

Pande: Delaying self-driving cars increases preventable driver fatalities
“Or like the self-driving cars, right? Like self-driving cars now in many cases could be safer than human drivers, but you make if, but they won't be perfect, but people I think can't reason that actually you're killing people by having humans drive once self-d…”
