Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | and then we sent out all the emails to launch the, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:45.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | launch the company and do the press thing. And then, you know, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:47.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | we weren't quite actually there. And then | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:51.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | we thought, oh, well, you know, they're not going to announce it until | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:54.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | maybe 10 a.m. the next morning. And it's, I don't know, it's 5 p.m. now. So | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:20:58.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | how many hours do we have left? What is that? Like, you know, 17 hours to go. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:02.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And, and that was, that was going to be fine. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:06.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Was the problem obvious? Did you understand | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:10.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | what could possibly, like, how complicated was the system at that point? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:12.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | It was, it was pretty messy. So to get a live video feed that looked decent | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:16.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | working from anywhere in San Francisco, I put together this system where we had | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:22.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | like three or four cell phone data modems and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:27.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | they were, like, we take the video stream and, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:29.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, sort of spray it across these three or four modems and then try to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:32.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | catch all the packets on the other side, you know, with unreliable cell phone | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:36.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | networks. It's pretty low level networking. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:39.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Yeah, and putting these, like, you know, sort of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:41.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | protocols on top of all that to, to reassemble and reorder the packets and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:44.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | have time buffers and error correction and all that kind of stuff. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:47.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And the night before it was just staticky. Every once in a while the image | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:50.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | would, would go to staticky and there would be this horrible, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:55.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | like, screeching audio noise because the audio was also corrupted. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:21:58.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And this would happen, like, every five to ten minutes or so and it was | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:01.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | a really, you know, off putting to the viewers. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:05.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | How do you tackle that problem? What was the, uh, you're just freaking out behind a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:08.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | computer. There's, are there other, other folks working | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:12.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | on this problem? Like, were you behind a whiteboard? Were you doing, uh, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:16.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Yeah, it was a little, it was a little, yeah, it's a little lonely because there's four of us | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:19.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | working on the company and only two people really wrote code. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:23.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And Emmett wrote the website and the chat system and I wrote the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:26.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | software for this video streaming device and video server. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:30.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And so, you know, it's my sole responsibility to figure that out. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:34.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And I think, I think it's those, you know, setting, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:37.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | setting deadlines, trying to move quickly and everything where you're in that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:40.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | moment of intense pressure that sometimes people do their | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:42.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | best and most interesting work. And so even though that was a terrible moment, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:45.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I look back on it fondly because that's like, you know, that's one of those | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:48.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | character defining moments, I think. So in 2013, October, you founded | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:51.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Cruise Automation. Yeah. So progressing forward, another | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:22:58.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | exceptionally successful company was acquired by GM in 16 | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:02.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | for $1 billion. But in October 2013, what was on your mind? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:06.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | What was the plan? How does one seriously start to tackle | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:14.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | one of the hardest robotics, most important impact for robotics | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:19.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | problems of our age? After going through Twitch, Twitch was, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:23.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | was, and is today, pretty successful. But the, the work was, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:27.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the result was entertainment, mostly. Like, the better the product was, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:35.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the more we would entertain people and then, you know, make money on the ad | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:38.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | revenues and other things. And that was, that was a good thing. It | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:42.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | felt, felt good to entertain people. But I figured like, you know, what is really | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:44.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the point of becoming a really good engineer and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:48.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | developing these skills other than, you know, my own enjoyment? And I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:51.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | realized I wanted something that scratched more of an existential | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:54.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | itch, like something that, that truly matters. And so I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:56.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | basically made this list of requirements for a new, if I was going to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:23:59.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | do another company, and the one thing I knew in the back of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:05.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | my head that Twitch took like eight years to become successful. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:07.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And so whatever I do, I better be willing to commit, you know, at least 10 years | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:12.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | to something. And when you think about things from that perspective, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:16.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you certainly, I think, raise the bar on what you choose to work on. So for me, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:20.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the three things were it had to be something where the technology | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:23.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | itself determines the success of the product, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:26.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | like hard, really juicy technology problems, because that's what | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:28.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | motivates me. And then it had to have a direct and positive impact on society in | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:32.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | some way. So an example would be like, you know, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:37.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | health care, self driving cars, because they save lives, other things where | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:39.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | there's a clear connection to somehow improving other people's lives. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:42.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And the last one is it had to be a big business, because | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:45.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | for the positive impact to matter, it's got to be a large scale. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:48.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And I was thinking about that for a while, and I made like, I tried | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:51.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | writing a Gmail clone and looked at some other ideas. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:54.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And then it just sort of light bulb went off, like self driving cars, like that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:24:57.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | was the most fun I had ever had in college working on that. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:00.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And like, well, what's the state of the technology? It's been 10 years. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:03.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Maybe times have changed, and maybe now is the time to make this work. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:07.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And I poked around and looked at, the only other thing out there really at the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:10.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | time was the Google self driving car project. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:14.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And I thought, surely there's a way to, you know, have an entrepreneur mindset | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:16.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | and sort of solve the minimum viable product here. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:20.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And so I just took the plunge right then and there and said, this is something I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:23.440 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | know I can commit 10 years to. It's the probably the greatest | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:26.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | applied AI problem of our generation. And if it works, it's going to be both a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:29.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | huge business and therefore like, probably the most positive impact I can | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:33.440 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | possibly have on the world. So after that light bulb went off, I went | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:37.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | all in on cruise immediately and got to work. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:41.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Did you have an idea how to solve this problem? Which aspect of the problem to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:45.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | solve? You know, slow, like we just had Oliver | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:48.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | from Voyage here, slow moving retirement communities, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:52.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | urban driving, highway driving. Did you have, like, did you have a vision of the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:25:56.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | city of the future where, you know, the transportation is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:00.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | largely automated, that kind of thing? Or was it sort of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:05.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | more fuzzy and gray area than that? My analysis of the situation is that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:09.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Google is putting a lot, had been putting a lot of money into that project. They | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:15.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | had a lot more resources. And so, and they still hadn't cracked | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:19.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the fully driverless car. You know, this is 2013, I guess. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:23.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | So I thought, what can I do to sort of go from zero to, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:29.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, significant scale so I can actually solve the real problem, which is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:34.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the driverless cars. And I thought, here's the strategy. We'll | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:37.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | start by doing a really simple problem or solving a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:40.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | really simple problem that creates value for people. So, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:44.480 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | eventually ended up deciding on automating highway driving, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:26:49.040 |
