MAD Opinion

Anthony: Autonomous driving cannot be solved with sensors and LiDAR alone

“You can't solve it with sensors. You can't solve it with compute power. You can't solve it with, ah, ah, LiDAR. You can't solve it by knowing exactly where everything, everything is.”

MAD Insight

Sam Anthony: Physics-only autonomous vehicles struggle to predict human intent

“So that sort of obvious inference is something that we as humans do effortlessly, and that if you just have a box, if you have an autonomous vehicle that's just, you know, rendering everything as moving physics objects in the world, Is difficult verging on imp…”

MAD Opinion

Sam Anthony: AV developers undervalue human intent inference in driving

“I think that very effortlessness has led to an undervaluing of the difficulty of the situation by people building autonomous vehicles.”

MAD Insight

Anthony: Explicitly modeling human judgment misses most real-world behavioral features

“If you tried to model it explicitly, if I sat here, and you know, I've been doing this for years, if I sat here and wrote down a list of all of the things that matter for these judgments, I would miss the majority of the features that people use in an actual s…”

MAD Assertion Contradicted

Anthony: Pedestrians physically punched Cruise autonomous cars in 2017

“So, in particular I think it was in 2017, the incident reports from crews, there were two or three times where somebody punched the car.”
