Drago Anguelov (Waymo) - MIT Self-Driving Cars

Summary

This tech transcript features Drago, a principal scientist at Waymo, discussing deep learning for self-driving cars. He highlights Waymo's significant milestone of over 10 million autonomous miles driven, stemming from foundational work by Sebastian Thrun. The key takeaway is the ongoing challenge of "taming the long tail" of autonomous driving, which requires robust perception systems and advanced machine learning to handle unpredictable real-world scenarios.
