We’re talking about autonomous driving ... specifically … how soon we can expect self-driving cars? And what changes will they bring in our economy and our society?
My guest is Blair Lacorte, the president of AEye, a Silicon Valley company that “develops advanced vision hardware, software and algorithms that act as the eyes and visual cortex of autonomous vehicles.”
He says: we’ll have self-driving cars within 3 years.
What we cover:

Many experts say that full self-driving is many years away. Some say we’ll never get there. Talk about how you think we’ll get there in 3 years.

You also say we’ll need to redefine what self-driving means … maybe redo the Levels of Automation. How so?

What’s unique about your technology? You have something you’ve call iDAR … what is it, and how does it work?

Who are you working with right now on this?

Elon Musk says we don’t need LIDAR. Agree?

How important is critical mass of instrumented cars and shared data to accelerate the AI that we need for self-driving cars?

Robotaxis … will we see fleets of personal cars roaming the roads as taxis? Other models?

There are those who say that autonomous cars -- and their development -- is unsafe. How do you respond?

Anything else?
