Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | The, the thing that captivated everyone's imagination that we can actually do this. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:16.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | So what, how were you captivated in that way? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:21.440 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | So how did your view of autonomous vehicles change at that point? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:25.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I'd say at that point in time it was, it was a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:28.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | curiosity as in, like, is this really possible? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:32.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And I think that was generally the spirit and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:35.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the purpose of that original DARPA Grand Challenge, which was to just get | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:39.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | a whole bunch of really brilliant people exploring the space and pushing the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:44.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | limits. And I think, like, to this day that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:49.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | DARPA Challenge with its, you know, million dollar prize pool | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:52.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | was probably one of the most effective, you know, uses of taxpayer | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:14:56.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | money dollar for dollar that I've seen, you know, because that, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:00.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | that small sort of initiative that DARPA put, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:04.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | put out sort of, in my view, was the catalyst or the tipping point | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:07.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | for this, this whole next wave of autonomous vehicle development. So that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:12.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | was pretty cool. So let me jump around a little bit on that point. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:16.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | They also did the Urban Challenge where it was in the city, but it was very | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:20.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | artificial and there's no pedestrians and there's very little human | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:23.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | involvement except a few professional drivers. Yeah. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:27.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Do you think there's room, and then there was the Robotics Challenge with | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:31.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | humanoid robots. Right. So in your now role is looking at this, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:34.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you're trying to solve one of the, you know, autonomous driving, one of the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:38.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | harder, more difficult places in San Francisco. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:42.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Is there a role for DARPA to step in to also kind of help out, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:45.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | like, challenge with new ideas, specifically pedestrians and so on, all | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:49.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | these kinds of interesting things? Well, I haven't, I haven't thought about it | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:54.480 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | from that perspective. Is there anything DARPA could do today to further | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:56.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | accelerate things? And I would say, my instinct is that that's maybe not the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:15:59.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | highest and best use of their resources and time, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:04.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | because, like, kick starting and spinning up the flywheel is, I think, what | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:07.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | what they did in this case for very, very little money. But today this has become, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:11.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | this has become, like, commercially interesting to very large companies and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:16.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the amount of money going into it and the amount of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:19.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | people, like, going through your class and learning about these things and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:22.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | developing these skills is just, you know, orders of magnitude | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:25.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | more than it was back then. And so there's enough momentum and inertia | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:29.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | and energy and investment dollars into this space right now that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:33.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I don't, I don't, I think they're, I think they're, they can just say mission | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:37.440 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | accomplished and move on to the next area of technology that needs help. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:41.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | So then stepping back to MIT, you left MIT during your junior year. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:46.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | What was that decision like? As I said, I always wanted to do | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:50.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | a company in, or start a company, and this opportunity landed in my lap, which | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:54.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | was a couple guys from Yale were starting a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:16:59.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | new company, and I googled them and found that they had | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:02.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | started a company previously and sold it actually on eBay for | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:05.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | about a quarter million bucks, which was a pretty interesting story, but | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:09.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | so I thought to myself, these guys are, you know, rock star entrepreneurs, they've | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:13.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | done this before, they must be driving around in Ferraris | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:17.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | because they sold their company, and, you know, I thought I could learn | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:20.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | a lot from them, so I teamed up with those guys and, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:25.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, went out during, went out to California during IAP, which is MIT's | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:27.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | month off, on a one way ticket and basically never went back. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:33.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | We were having so much fun, we felt like we were building something and creating | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:37.840 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | something, and it was going to be interesting | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:40.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | that, you know, I was just all in and got completely hooked, and that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:42.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | that business was Justin TV, which is originally a reality show about a guy | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:47.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | named Justin, which morphed into a live video | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:51.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | streaming platform, which then morphed into what is Twitch | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:56.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | today, so that was, that was quite an unexpected journey. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:17:59.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | So no regrets? No. Looking back, it was just an obvious, I mean, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:04.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | one way ticket. I mean, if we just pause on that for a second, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:09.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | there was no, how did you know these are the right guys, this is the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:12.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | right decision, you didn't think it was just follow the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:17.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | heart kind of thing? Well, I didn't know, but, you know, just trying something for a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:21.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | month during IAP seems pretty low risk, right? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:25.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And then, you know, well, maybe I'll take a semester off, MIT's pretty flexible | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:28.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | about that, you can always go back, right? And then after two or three cycles of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:31.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | that, I eventually threw in the towel, but, you know, I think it's, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:35.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I guess in that case I felt like I could always hit the undo button if I had to. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:40.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Right. But nevertheless, from when you look | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:44.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | in retrospect, I mean, it seems like a brave decision, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:48.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, it would be difficult for a lot of people to make. It wasn't as | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:51.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | popular, I'd say that the general, you know, flux of people | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:54.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | out of MIT at the time was mostly into, you know, finance or consulting jobs in | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:18:59.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Boston or New York, and very few people were going to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:04.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | California to start companies, but today I'd say that's, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:07.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | it's probably inverted, which is just a sign of, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:10.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | a sign of the times, I guess. Yeah. So there's a story about | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:14.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | midnight of March 18, 2007, where TechCrunch, I guess, announced | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:18.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Justin.TV earlier than it was supposed to, a few hours. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:24.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | The site didn't work. I don't know if any of this is true, you can tell me. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:28.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And you and one of the folks at Justin.TV, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:32.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Emmett Shearer, coded through the night. Can you take me through that experience? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:36.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | So let me, let me say a few nice things that, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:41.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the article I read quoted Justin Kahn said that you were known for bureau | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:45.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | coding through problems and being a creative, quote, creative | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:49.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | genius. So on that night, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:52.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | what, what was going through your head, or maybe I'd put another way, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:19:56.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | how do you solve these problems? What's your approach to solving these kinds of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:00.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | problems where the line between success and failure seems to be pretty | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:04.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | thin? That's a good question. Well, first of all, that's, that's a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:08.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | nice of Justin to say that. I think, you know, I would have been | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:12.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | maybe 21 years old then and not very experienced at programming, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:15.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | but as with, with everything in a startup, you're sort of racing against | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:18.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the clock. And so our plan was the second we had | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:23.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | this live streaming camera backpack up and running, where Justin could wear it | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:28.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | and no matter where he went in a city, it | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:33.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | would be streaming live video. And this is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:35.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | even before the iPhones. This is like hard to do back then. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:36.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | We would launch. And so we thought we were there and the backpack was working | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:40.800 |
