Career Update: Today, I bid farewell to Waymo, marking the end of a chapter in my career.
Joining Waymo in late 2019, I entered a world where Level 4 (L4) robotaxi services were a concept rather than a reality. Now, in 2024, Waymo operates a rider-only robotaxi service in four

if you haven’t tried fsd for a while, please give a shot, it’s getting a lot better
Tesla full self driving has made significant strides in the last year, and I am feeling very confident about this bet. I have made multiple two hour drives without touching the wheel.
I wouldn’t have wanted the task of leading a self driving effort for a couple reasons:

great summery on the perspectives of scaling foundation models for robotics from both sides
my personal belief:
@tesla
will solve self-driving with the end-to-end learning approach, and it will provide a concrete data point and encouragement for the entire robotics community
There was a lot of good and interesting debate on "is scaling all we need to solve robotics?" at
#CoRL23
. I spent some time writing up a blog post about all the points I heard on both sides:

Inspecting large amount of data manually and visualizing the exact data fed into the network (after all the filtering, post-processing, etc.) is one of the best ML practices I’ve learned from
@karpathy
.
One pattern I noticed is that great AI researchers are willing to manually inspect lots of data. And more than that, they build infrastructure that allows them to manually inspect data quickly. Though not glamorous, manually examining data gives valuable intuitions about the

the answer to “what did you get done this week” is much more satisfying if we collectively cancel all the useless weekly 1:1s
1/ Weekly 1:1s with direct reports are a staple of Silicon Valley management. The idea is to check in, see how they're doing, and provide feedback. I did this for 10+ years at Facebook & Dropbox. Frankly, I hated it and found it useless. But it's what "good" managers did.

“life needs to be more than just solving problems every day, you need to wake up and be excited about the future”
“our existence cannot just be about solving one miserable problem after another, there need to be reasons to live”
true for life, true for work
Top-tier product managers = Top-tier storytellers.
It's not just about solving a problem for the customer; it's about creating a compelling narrative for your team and your entire company to rally beneath. Your job isn't just execution, it's inspiration.

one solution is a lot easier than the other
Only two options for competitors to keep up with Tesla solving self-driving using AI:
1) Make a vision-only system, invest billions of dollars in hardware and compute, and gather metric-shit-tons of real-world video with your own fleet.
2) License Tesla’s solution.
