“The big unlock honestly for physical AI as an industry is that these models are just Becoming much more reliable, right? Things like things actually work a lot better. It's like the number of nines you can get out of these systems are now good enough that it actually becomes cost effective to really deploy these things.”

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: AI tooling creates an enormous bimodal productivity gap among engineers
“And I think in that you start to see more of a bimodal distribution of engineers, right? You start to see like, wow, there's this subset of people that they really get it. Like they're all in and they've clearly invested the hours needed to learn these tools a…”
Ludwig: LiDAR is hands down useful for AV R&D and data collection
“And the state of the industry right now is LiDAR is hands down a useful sensor specifically for data collection and the R&D phase of autonomy development.”
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: Relying purely on world models will bankrupt companies before deployment
“I think if you're hoping to do real world deploys and you're purely relying on a world model approach, you probably won't get to something that works before you go bankrupt.”
Ludwig: Probably everything in the world reduces to next-token prediction
“So the interesting thing is, I think probably everything in the world can actually be boiled down to like a next token prediction problem. And In any workflow, anything can be thought of almost as like there's this, the sequence of steps or the sequence of tra…”
