Guy build his own self driving car.

Here is the link to the complete article in Bloomberg Business:

http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015- ... iving-car/"

I think the article is more interesting than the video in the article.

He says his program learns by visually seeing what people do when they drive, not a series of pre-programmed lines of code.
He says near end of article:
"In the next 10 years, you’ll see a big segment of the human labor force fall away. In 25 years, AI will be able to do almost everything a human can
do. The last people with jobs will be AI programmers.”

I'm skeptical when any one says they think they know everything there is to know, (unless he is just talking about AI programming), because to me that's a sign of ignorance.

I think just different kind of jobs would be created for different things after AI. People need to work and be busy to feel fullfilled with their lives - it wasn't like the loom or combustion engine or factory machines destroyed all employment (though it was often said that it would). It just made new jobs in other areas.

You never know, we might need comptuer translators - people who specialize in interpersonal relationships between AI machines and people. Training, familiarity, etc.

I don't know much about AI programming, but if it learns by watching how he drives does that mean the AI program is writing it's own code.
Some how I don't think there is computer program that can write its own code as it is running. Maybe it is just storing more data as it learns?
Maybe it can watch you model in TS and then do it own modeling? :roll:
