watch time: 45 minutes “One person, in a literal garage, building a self-driving car.” That happened in 2015. Now to put that fact in context, compare this to 2004, when DARPA sponsored the very first driverless car Grand Challenge. Of the 20 entries they received then, the winning entry went 7.2 miles; in 2007, in...

Autonomous Driving: Self-Driving Technology | General Motors
General Motors is leading the advancement and safe deployment of autonomous vehicles so more people can experience a safer, more relaxing hands-free drive.
Automotive — Solutions — Liquid AI
On-device AI for automakers — real-time, personalized in-car assistants that run on the vehicle's existing CPUs and NPUs.
Self-driving infrastructure
At Vercel, we’re building self-driving infrastructure, a system that autonomously manages production operations, improves application code using real-world insights, and learns from the unpredictable nature of production itself.
Red-teaming the Context Constitution: Auditing Models as Experiential AI Agents
We evaluate how well models perform for driving agents that have identity, long-lived experience, and the capability to self-evolve. We find that models are still limited by a deep self-identification with ephemerality that cannot be repaired with prompting alone.
Builder.ai did not “fake AI with 700 engineers”
The claim that the AI startup “faked AI” with hundreds of engineers went viral – and I also fell for it, initially. The reality is much more sobering: Builder.ai built a code generator on top of Claude and other LLMs; it did not build a so-called “Mechanical Turk.”
Udacity plans to build its own open-source self-driving car | TechCrunch
Sebastian Thrun's online education startup Udacity recently created a self-driving car engineering nanodegree, and on stage at Disrupt today Thrun
Where’s my ten minute AGI?
Why don’t AIs automate more real-world tasks if they can handle 1-hour ones? Here are at least three fundamental reasons.
Four takeaways from Mark Zuckerberg’s massive AI manifesto
Maybe work on actually winning the AGI race first?
Chief people officers—and Jamie Dimon—say AI can’t learn ‘human skills.’ The world's youngest self-made billionaires want to prove them wrong | Fortune
What's the price of training an AI to take your job someday (soon)? Mercor has contract gig listings as high as $150 per hour.
Building pro-worker AI | Brookings
Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, and Simon Johnson ask: What is pro-worker AI, and how can we build it?
I am often wrong
[I shared this note with my team earlier this week, and am posting it here as well. I hope it is interesting or helpful for others working on building product in the age of AI.]

I made an AI running/training coach last fall.With its guidance, I smoked my 5km PR.It's 100x better than the stuff on offer from Garmin/Strava and it was the easiest thing in the world. The first pass was just a bunch of markdown files and a Codex instance.Some notes 1/ pic.twitter.com/yE360Mk8Pg— Paul Novosad (@paulnovosad) June 24, 2026
