Software is staring to eat the auto industry. For the first time, the most advanced cars on the road today now have the ability to see and understand what’s happening in the world around them. Although elusive, the goal is to make the AI’s understanding of the world so rich that it can control the […]
On Sunday morning Dan O’Dowd, the CEO of “Green Hills Software“, took out a full-page ad in the New York Times to declare war on Tesla Autopilot.

Rejoice, America’s hat: Thursday — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 6, 2020 P.S. Remember to apply a safe margin of error to account for software rollout and Elon time
