That book is quite out of date and incomplete as it doesn't mention the telops (remote human drivers and realtime assistants) needed by Waymo, Zoox, Nuro, etc in US and required by law for all Chinese AV companies at a ratio of not less than one telops person per 3 vehicles. What is Waymo's ratio?

Is this a bot account? Pushing robots over people? Taking jobs? Miss me with this. Why don’t you get super excited about technology that truly benefits the planet and her inhabitants 🌍

I'm sorry, there's just no way that whatever this system costs to deploy is in any way competitive with just having someone drive the car. We're essentially burning money to take people's jobs away, because God forbid corporations have to deal with the concerns of their workers.

So far in chapter 1, I've learned about the various types of sensors required to build an autonomous vehicles, and the various roles they play in the decision-making systems (which I'll learn more about in future chapters).

My favorite new-to-me sensor so far is IMUs or Inertial Measurement Units, which are a collection of sensors including accelerometers & gyroscopes, used in lots of tech, like phones. The book mentioned that IMUs tend to accumulate errors, & how autonomous vehicles use GPS to account for this. Cool~!
