Famous quotes by Sebastian Thrun:
"Extrapolate two, three or four years out, and then let your imagination play."
"The dream of cars driving themselves is becoming a reality. Before, the question was whether it was possible. Now we know it is."
"The potential here is enormous. Autonomous vehicles will be as important as the Internet."
"It won't be a very fast drive going from San Francisco to Los Angeles ? it might just drive 55 mph, it won't go 90 like everybody else does in California."
"It's all in the algorithms."
"I am a big fan of putting the intelligence in the cars."
"None of us think about a world where all the cars are automated all the time. It could take society 20 years to adopt the technology."
"It's a no-brainer that 50 to 60 years from now, cars will drive themselves,"
"In the past, someone would look at a problem, write some code, test it, improve it by hand, test it again and so on. The problem is, software is becoming larger and larger and less and less manageable. So there's a trend to make software that can adapt itself. This is a really big item for the future."
"The next big milestone we are heading for now is proving self-driving is possible in traffic. Our goal at Stanford is to be able, within the next two years, to drive from downtown San Francisco to downtown Los Angeles with 100 percent autonomy--without any human intervention whatsoever."
