iPhone Hacker Geohot Builds Self-Driving Car AI (bloomberg.com)

An anonymous reader writes: George Hotz, known for unlocking early iPhones and the PlayStation 3, has developed an autonomous driving system in his garage. "Hotz's approach isn't simply a low-cost knockoff of existing autonomous vehicle technology. He says he's come up with discoveries—most of which he refuses to disclose in detail—that improve how the AI software interprets data coming in from the cameras." The article has a video with Hotz demonstrating some basic autonomous driving similar to what Tesla rolled out earlier this year. He's clearly brimming with confidence about what the system can accomplish with more training.

" “I live by morals, I don’t live by laws,” Hotz declared in the story. “Laws are something made by assholes.”"

We rebels don't need insurance! If we kill your family on the highway, well LOL dude. #hacktheplanet

Not only that but you can't tell us we're wrong
