Autonomous Driving is a big enough paradigm shift. But after years of research and billions of dollars spent trying to get cars to drive themselves, perhaps it is time for a paradigm shift within a paradigm shift. What might this look like?
Daniel Langkilde, CEO of Kognic joins me on the AI in Automotive Podcast to discuss exactly this. Daniel and I talk about the current approach to autonomy, which involves breaking down a very complex problem into its components - perception, prediction and planning - and its limitations. Based on a better understanding of how humans actually go about accomplishing the task of driving, we ask if perhaps it is time to take a different approach to delivering autonomy at scale. We discuss a key component of this approach - the world model - or the ‘common sense’ that a machine must be equipped with to make sense of the complex world around it. Daniel also talks about alignment, what it means to steer a system towards accomplishing its stated goal, and its relevance to autonomous driving.
I am convinced that we are far from done with solving autonomy. On the contrary, I feel there is a lot of unexplored territory yet, which can dramatically change how we approach this opportunity. I hope my chat with Daniel gave you a sneak peek into what the inception of paradigm shifts looks like, and what it means for the future of autonomous driving.
