TBPN(@tbpn):Jordi: self-driving cars need a humanoid. “We’ve solved the task, but not the job.” He gives the example of hiring a driver when fires doubled his commute to two hours each way, and his favorite part was everything but the driving. “Everything that I loved about it was not actually the driving itself. It was having someone in the real world that could just do things.” “It was parking the car when you get there. It was running in to grab food, running to pick something up, dry cleaning. It was all that stuff.” “You really want the Waymo or the Tesla with the humanoid in it, or the ability to close the loop and park, or go run into the store and grab something, or do things.”
