@olivercameron @Cruise Great thread, @olivercameron! Good luck with your next adventure.

[Arpan Chakraborty @runoffthemill]

@luis_likes_math Amazing stuff, Luis! Congrats and keep up the good work!

More than 100 students at a high school in Huntington, https://t.co/Y2LY33ExCv., staged a walkout to protest a Christian assembly they were forced to attend during school last week, chanting "separate the church and state" and "my faith, my choice."

[Oliver Cameron @olivercameron]

We hosted the amazing @garrytan at @Cruise to share his wisdom on building world-changing companies.

As you can imagine, it was epic.

“I would say a quarter of GDP is today being properly serviced by software engineers and good software.”

Transportation included!

I'll speak about deep reinforcement learning and policy gradients tonight at 7 pm (EST) in Manning at Twitch. No background in ML needed. Don't miss it!

Today Ridecell announces a breakthrough in harnessing the power of IoT–Ridecell #Fleet #IoT #Automation.
The platform complements the existing # #fleetmanagement and vehicle #telematics solutions and unifies data from these systems to automate tasks.

Driving scenarios provide a robust framework for testing & validation of #autonomousdriving systems. Learn about the fundamental elements & spatiotemporal relationships that characterize scenarios, & build an expressive language for representing them.

Autonomous Vehicles have to share the road with all kinds of drivers. Modeling their behaviors (and reproducing them in simulation) is essential for training our systems to respond appropriately. #AutonomousVehicles #TrafficModeling #Simulation

[Auro (Autonomous Driving Division of Ridecell) @Auro_AI]

AV and ADAS teams need to use data and simulation more effectively than ever in the current pandemic.
Here is a glimpse of how we create human-like driving behaviors in simulation platforms, using real-world data distributions

[Auro (Autonomous Driving Division of Ridecell) @Auro_AI]

What does it take to learn effective driving policies for #AutonomousVehicles in simulation?
1. Real-world scenarios
2. Data-driven traffic actors
3. Modular learning agents
4. Loads of naturalistic driving data!

Hammerhead, our modular, vehicle-agnostics sensor housing unit is designed to adapt to any vehicle platform to enable autonomy. 🚗Thank you @EngineersNZ for the coverage & @4design_news for partnering with us! #AutonomousVehicles #SelfDrivingCars #design

[Auro (Autonomous Driving Division of Ridecell) @Auro_AI]

For all the #ReinforcementLearning Enthusiasts out there, we are sharing a beginners guide for training Deep RL agents for the task of #autonomous_driving. Check out our blog and try training your own RL agents to drive in #Unity with the code we shared. https://t.co/3iQywln0w7

[Auro (Autonomous Driving Division of Ridecell) @Auro_AI]

Here is a sample of how we automated the process of scenario mining and multiple scenario generation from a single template (simulated in #CARLA). This is a must for both system validation and learning complex driving behaviors at an accelerated pace. #AutonomousVehicles #L4

[Ridecell @ridecell]

A new breakthrough reduces the percentage of cobalt in lithium-ion batteries. Now that may not sound like much to most readers, but that reduction lowers the cost of #EVs, boosts their range, and has big implications for the future of #electricvehicles. https://t.co/IsASPN2zIm

@luis_likes_math So relaxing to hear your voice! Amazing lessons - made me wonder what topic mixtures we might find if we model a corpus of recent news articles? :)

[Arpan Chakraborty @runoffthemill]

@luis_likes_math Oh, not yet! Saving it for weekend study time :)

[Sebastian Thrun @SebastianThrun]

Couldn't be more excited about @udacity 's willingness to offer a month of our classes for free. This is an unprecedented situation, and none of us knows where it will lead us. I sincerely hope we will emerge strong and united.

Wondering how to run @ApolloPlatform with @carlasimulator? Easy - write a bridge and convert Carla's #OpenDRIVE maps to Apollo. Well, there's more to it! Read on: https://t.co/Chjd1ARjga

Meet Hammerhead, the patent-pending, vehicle-agnostic #autonomous sensor unit from @Auro_AI, the Autonomous Driving Division of Ridecell, that's bringing us one step closer to achieving real-world, near-term applications of L4 #autonomy for shared #fleets. https://t.co/GRI6gBuEnj
