Is Tesla Building a Potemkin Village (Michael Barnard, Futurist and Climate Scientist)
Disruption Drive by Hari Sripathi
Episode notes
I host one of the deepest thinkers I know in the AV space. Michael Barnard is peerless in how he applies scientific rigor, behavioral economics and engineering principles in breaking down the hardest problems in Autonomous Vehicles. We talk about: - How Tesla got the technical stack right originally but then blew it's lead - Why is a multi sensor approach so hard that only Google can pull this off? - The technical constraints that both Google and Tesla approaches face in robotics to hinder their scale - Is Tesla building a Potemkin village of perceived success? A must watch.
