This week on Found, we’re diving into the future of trucking with Raquel Urtasun, CEO and co-founder of Waabi, a company pioneering driverless, long-haul trucks powered by generative AI. Hosts Dominic-Madori Davis and Becca Szkutak learn about Waabi’s unique simulation-based training and how this approach is intended to minimize mistakes once the massive trucks hit […]
There’s no transcript and I can’t listen to it. Can someone tell me if they’re actually using generative AI and if so…how?
I fully expect them to be using machine learning but at the moment it feels like the author thinks “machine learning” and “generative AI” can be used interchangeable
The company’s website says they are using generative AI too.
They are using it to generate virtual environments to train the self-driving AI. Waymo is using generative AI to do the same.
Thanks!
So the author still is in the wrong, that’s not “taking it into the physical world”. That implies that they’re using it in the physical trucks themselves rather than just a virtual truck and virtual environment for training.
This sounds like a hellacious case of garbage-in-garbage-out
