Ludwig: Commercial driverless trucks are at most a few years away
“To be honest, it's not long. We're talking a few years and I think on the long end,”
Ludwig: Tesla R&D vehicles still use LiDAR in the Bay Area
“If you see, for example, a Tesla R&D vehicle, it actually has LiDAR on it to this day, right? In, in the Bay Area, we see these you'll see like Model Ys or CyberCab that have LiDARs on them just driving around.”
Ludwig: No autonomous vehicle company is close to Level 5 autonomy
“And then the very last level is level five, which is more of an idea than a reality. It's the notion that there could be a vehicle that is, is able to drive autonomously in, in all conditions where a human would be able to operate that vehicle. And the truth i…”
Ludwig: GTA VI will be the last game using legacy graphics tooling
“This is speculation, but I think Grand Theft Auto VI will be perhaps the last major real-world video game that's still really developed, let's say, in that legacy era of traditional computer graphics tooling.”
Ludwig: Autonomous systems will not cause worse accidents than human drivers
“I don't think we honestly have to worry about there ever being accidents from these systems that are much, like, much worse than what humans would cause, because humans do do terrible things. People fall asleep at the wheel all the time.”
Ludwig: Gen-II autonomous vehicle will be commercialized by 2027
“This is being commercialized in, in the next year”
Ludwig: Most automakers cannot update safety-critical systems over the air
“Are basically never doing updates and they're, and even if they are doing updates, they're usually only updating maybe one module. Maybe they're updating the HMI module, but they're not able to update, let's say the seafood critical parts of the system. You ha…”
Ludwig: Frontier AI Models Now Excel at Low-Level Code and GPU Shaders
“Six months ago, I would have said the same thing, but it's becoming super useful for every domain.
I'm sure.
Right.
Like there was
I think six months ago, or maybe, maybe a year ago, if you tried to use, let's say the latest Claude model for writing shaders G…”
Ludwig: Actuator overheating is a major physical failure point in humanoid robotics
“In these humanoid robotics systems, overheating actuators is a real problem, right? So obviously phenomenal demos. The most amazing I can get. I love watching robots do acrobatics like everybody, but The systems actually overheat, right?”
Ludwig: 2B parameter LLMs can run on embedded vehicle hardware
“You can run that model on embedded system.
Definitely.”
Ludwig: Future of Mining and Construction Will Be Fully Autonomous
“So the future of mining and eventually construction is going to be these fully autonomous operations, where labor shortage is a real problem in the industry, and so this allows a very small number of people to control a huge number of vehicles.”
Ludwig: Applied Intuition Is Remotely Controlling Patrol Boats in the Ocean
“We have actual boats out in the ocean which we are remotely controlling and doing a patrol operation.”
Ludwig: Applied Intuition retrofitted Army vehicles for autonomous driving in 10 days
“In 10 days, we had a very small team retrofit our vehicle operating system and our SDS, or self-driving system, onto the vehicles, and then yeah, at 10 days, we showed them a video of these infantry squad vehicles driving autonomously out, out in a test enviro…”
Ludwig: Campus delivery robots qualify as Level 4 autonomous systems
“That's absolutely a level four system. Because for those there's no human operator typically. And so it is a level four system within the ODD of the robot.”
Ludwig: Electric drivetrains impact every vehicle component, not just propulsion
“And so electric drive train, for example, that doesn't just impact the propulsion system, but it actually impacts every other component on the vehicle.”
