I spent a lot of time researching Nuro’s tech. They are very strategic in what they disclose and don’t disclose. Uber could have done worse—at least Nuro is trying to move to end to end neural nets. But unless Nuro pivots to vision only and gets serious about adding compute and better data it will end up the same place as Baidu, IMO. How they spend this cash influx from Uber will be key. But the videos of their tech online and the new Lucid “RoboTaxi” are not inspiring confidence for me. They have a cheaper and quicker way to do mapping; but still rely on pre mapped locations. They are using the same types of extra sensors that Elon Musk calls a crutch. Warning that ultimately the vision needs to work.
“- I think with the elimination of radar, we're finally getting rid of one of the last crutches. Radar was really - it was making up for some of the shortfalls of vision, but this is not good. You actually just need vision to work.
And when your vision works, it works better than the best human because it's like having eight cameras, it's like having eyes in the back of your head, beside your head and has three eyes of different focal distances looking forward. And processing it at a speed that is superhuman. ” Elon Musk 2021 Q1 Earnings Transcript
