First
Kyle is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the tech world taking on one of the most difficult and exciting problems in AI (building autonomous vehicles) and testing in one of the most challenging environments in the United States (San Francisco). Plus, he went to MIT, so it was great to have this conversation with him back on campus. Hope you enjoy as well.
Trivia: I didn't know there are company's Presidents that are also CTOs. That's so cool 🙂
I was doing maneuvering in this field alone because of my own circumstances since I found you (Lex Fridman) with MIT open course I am super motivated and now I am getting quite confident in this field… Thank you
Play need for speed while your car drives you safely to work.
“I just took the plunge right then in there and said this this is something I know I can commit ten years to. it's the probably the greatest applied AI problem of our generation. it's right and if it works it's going to be both a huge business and therefore like probably the most positive impact I can possibly have on the world.”
Always inspiring to hear the journey of all these great entrepreneurs of our time. Thanks Lex for another interesting episode on autonomous vehicle! 🚗
Really appreciate the work you put into your channel Mr Fridman. You're reaching and inspiring people all over the world.
Thank you and keep up the good work.

The company is made of tens of thousands of motivated people who want to be part of the future and embrace the transformation.
Greatest asset: being able to figure out how to bridge the gap between Detroit and Silicon Valley cultures.
Yay FIRST Robotics! Was captain in 2003 & 2004 but unlike Kyle I didn't do much with my life. Still trying though.
If you never quit, eventually you will arrive 🙂
good videos and all lex. tho all the characters should get a shave like lex
Interesting how it's greed not anything else that really motivated
Autonomous vehicles today don’t seem to be as much reliant on AI as they are on thorough programing. I suspect with a thorough and complete program, AI wouldn’t necessarily be a requirement.
Using OLED on the vehicle windows could project any desired images thus eliminating the emotional response to traffic etc outside the vehicle. Actually windows aren’t necessarily even a requirement and affect safety.
A question: once you release an autonomous vehicle to operate without a driver, how will the manufacturer know when the vehicle makes a mistake?
I found these interviews to be too "philosophical" and generic. Little AI talk here, few specifics, working examples, etc.
I have seen like 6 interviews so far and I'm not the wiser
There is real research years ago regarding even uptake in electricity in cities like NY city or Vegas that increase chances of cancer in humans. So a large company using perhaps as much or quite possibly considerably more electricity would be a health threat for humans also. Besides this no jobs? Who buys ?
A really inspiring interview
Great interview i would say. Most motivating fact is that he didn't regret the mistakes he made. Excelent answer. Thank you for sharing this podcast.
Kyle also ran 7 marathons on 7 continens in 4 days. He is one determined mother***ker.
