00:00is you know gratifying to see tesla pivot to the technical strategy we're taking after

00:05and many years ago elon told me this would never work uh but we we do share today a lot in common

00:10in our strategy of using end-to-end learning uh for driving uh it's really the two of us that have

00:16been pushing this forward and driving without any high definition maps also the fact that we think

00:21that it's important critical in fact to have consumer vehicles at scale uh to be able to

00:26leverage their data to actually build a safe and generalizable autonomy these are the things we

00:31share um one of the key differences is that we are much more sensor agnostic and so while i think a

00:37camera first predominantly camera approach is the right way to go forward uh having redundant sensing

00:43mostly radar maybe a forward-facing lidar i think can really help feed and quality of of the system

00:49particularly if you go from hands-off to eyes off or robotech and so we are working on solutions that

00:56have redundant sensing capabilities and because of that i think i will be able to offer a much safer
