  3. I like the fact you do not like the idea of self-driving cars 😂

    For me it's a case of less regular incidents versus a really catastrophic one.

    Like people used to say there aren't many viruses in linux computers compare to windows, but when there is a security failure, it usually targets data centers and large institutions.

    Imagine a ransomware atrack against self-driving cars… specially terrifying if you follow security conferences or tech tests with attacks disabling brakes on cars that have bad electronic controllers projects such as a few Jeep models

  12. Self driving cars are in a very interesting place right now. Tesla's latest release of its beta software (v12) is a fully end-to-end neural network AI. Cameras capture photons and the AI, trained only on millions of hours of (carefully curated) driving videos controls the vehicle. There is no code to tell it what traffic lights, stop signs, pedestrians, other cars, etc are. Instead it has learned purely by example how to behave in each case. It infers the correct behaviour based on what the humans who were shown to it in training did. As "training compute" advances (exponentially right now) then less "inference compute" (compute located on the car to make decisions in real time) is required to achieve better outcomes.

    For those looking for a video of how FSD 12 performs currently I would recommend "Pushing Tesla FSD V12 Over the Limits" by AI DRIVR as a good example of what the system can do in extremely difficult conditions. Obviously there are plenty of other videos out there but as this is a deliberate stress test I think it's a particularly good example of how an emergent "Visual AI" is handling edge cases right now. If we consider the current rate of advancement then it's hard to see how this system won't be many, many times safer than the average human within the next few years.

  15. I think I disagree about F1 being wasteful and I disagree with limiting the amount of money they're allowed to spend… this reaction is based on the idea that one of those teams might come up with some innovative improvements to the technology. they mind improve automobile engine efficiency or the safety of the vehicle itself. think about the technological advancements that have come out of NASA. let these people spend whatever they want in their pursuit of better ways to do things… let's see what they come up with. (oh, cool! as soon as I hit play again, the girl in the video began to elaborate on my point!)

  16. Nope, I'm not into the idea of self-driving cars, either. it seems like a simple glitch in the software could cause an accident. or the software could get hacked, and we'd have a new form of terrorism to worry about. there was (I think) and episode of Elementary where a self-driving car got hacked and was used to kill the passenger (although I can't seem to find anything on it, right now).

  17. The budget cap is the formal on paper cost cap. But look at redbull who have and in part are still building an engine development and production operation. That is not part of the 140M budget nor was their brand new state of the art windtunnel for testing full sized xars in for instance.

    There are a lot of ways the rich teams find creative ways to deal with the cost cap. Keeping in mind that the big three teams Ferarri, Mercedes and Redbull are getting the lionsshare of the F1 profits which allows them a lot more freedom to spend spend spend which they most certainly do.

  20. "How a Formula 1 Race Car Works" by Animagraffs is brilliant (Though the design philosophy has changed now to Ground effect design to produce the majority of downforce as per the regulations or the "formula")
    And
    "Adrian Newey's Formula 1 Design SECRETS" by Driver61 a video about the most aerodynamicist, designer and technical director in Formula 1 history
    Those 2 videos are really good for people with an interest in the science of F1

  21. I'd highly recommend the videos "Why the Indy 500 matters" by Josh Revell and "What exactly is an Indycar?" by S1apSh0es

    The Former covers the history of one of the worlds most prestigious races and why it's so captivating

    The latter looks at some of the major events in Indycar's 100+ year history and touches on how it influenced the development of F1 cars (and single seater race cars overall) at points too

    Indycar in general is well worth a look, it no longer has the same level of engineering competition that is still present in modern F1 but it's a much more competitive series overall as a result and produces some fantastic racing

  23. Cleo did a great introduction to F1, Driver 61 and engineering explained both have great videos on the tech in F1, engineering explained’s video on the V10 engine was amazing, and a surprisingly good one was the Driver 61 video on the the wheel nuts.

  26. hollywood is now just agenda pushing, making entertainment that wastes peoples lives, and most of the movies are stealing from people, so piracy should be legalized. :p

  27. Could you maybe elaborate further your stance on self driving cars? Maybe in a future car related video. Humans make mistakes, get intoxicated, get distracted, get tired or just old and slow, computers don't. I would feel much safer if cars were controlled by logical computers than by unpredictable humans.

  29. Technilogically I think Self driving cars are exciting, and if the kinks are worked out it should hugely increase road safety IF the choice was forced on people to have self driving or none at all. If you combine self driving with actual driving, that's going to cause accidents. As for me, if I need to get somewhere and I don't want to drive, I will take a taxi or bus or train.

  32. Anyone driving manual is not a fan of future of car industry. I dont mind the fuel aspect as i am in full controll ( i can have the option of not driving (when i am drunk for example) but still i want to tell and controll what is happening ) AND THE SOUND ! v6 v8 no tesla can do that so big MEH on electric so far! Its like enjoying robot playing classical concert without a single mistake all the time would you enjoy it (maybe for first 1-2 times) after that is booring bcs u loose the human relationship.

  35. Teams were spending over three hundred million dollars per year, until the governing body put a cap on spending, only allowing one hundred and forty million per team or so they say, anyway back to F1, I was a big until Sky TV took over, then I could not be bothered, I'm not paying to watch race cars going round in circles, the motor GP and super bike world championship are way better, not forgetting the TT.😊

  38. There are, if I remember rightly, three types of penalties during a race. Drive through penalties basically means you have to drive through the pits (they have a speed limit), stop go penalties mean you have to pull in as of you're doing a pit stop (but aren't allowed to do any work) for however many seconds your penalty is and time penalties that get added on.

  40. I dont really get the waste of money thing. Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt it just pay thousands of peoples salary and keep the economy going? F1 doesnt burn money right? It all gets spend on something which gets paid to other people for services. So it's actually good it costs a lot and gives a lot of people jobs and income. As long as it doesnt lose infinite amounts of money, it all goes around in a circle.

  42. Thou art still my favourite person reacting to stuff. I also enjoy learning about things. Formula 1 is not my bag, but I totally love MotoGP. So I get how people can say “I don’t get MotoGP, I love Formula 1” or Nascar, or whatever floats your particular boat.
    I also loved the comment about the engineering and being driven by “nerds”.
    If a nerd is a person who is so passionate and committed to something that they deem that more important than ensuring that they are, at all times, appropriately clothed in garments that their peers (who avidly watch what other people are wearing) approve of, and only listen to similarly peer-approved music, then sign me up as a proud, card carrying, flag waving, passionate and committed Nerd.
    I totally agree about not looking forward to self-driving or autonomous cars. Even though a huge percentage of human drivers are absolute morons, a larger percentage are not. And the percentage of people who would be ambivalent about running someone over would be minuscule.
    Can’t expect that from a computer!
    Love your work.
