I have been doing this for my whole professional life, and I do not understand what he says. It's incoherent. "supplement that with LiDAR [...] allows us to train the vision models faster. And the incremental cost to do that is relatively small." LiDAR is extremely expensive. One LiDAR is roughly the cost of the compute itself. It almost doubles the hardware of the system for every car. Add the RADARs and you are clearly two times more expensive than the Tesla system. Having LiDAR on every car is not necessary to train your vision models faster. You need some LiDAR data to kick start your auto-labeling, but when you have this you can create labels from the video streams alone by using frames "from the future" (use frames n+1, n+2... to improve the labels of frame n, n-1 etc...). "any of the incremental costs that would have been there on its own is offset by the fact that we brought inference in house" So yes, there is an incremental cost, but actually there isn't because we make our own chips and don't buy from NVidia anymore. So which one is it?🤔 "in like the infinite long-term [...] once the models are very very robust you could have less cameras or you may be able to get away with less radar." Well, here he recognizes that when the models are good enough, you can get away with less sensors. He does not quite say vision only, that would be a bad look. This was my point all along: Rivian relies on sensor fusion to patch the gaps of their under performing vision models.



Say what you want but several #Ravens players are happily joining John Harbaugh in New York.





Sometimes I wonder if Kyle Hamilton hates the ravens. Guy shares this and the likely signings but not a like, comment or share in relation to the Crosby or other ravens news. Maybe I’m overreacting but it’s something I’ve noticed for a while now.

Rubio: There was absolutely an imminent threat and it was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believe that they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow
