Here are some of my predictions for the future. These are based on vibes and intuition, not careful analysis, so may be worthless, although I am willing to bet money on them. I've grouped them into 3 themes, in decreasing order of confidence: AI, US Politics, and Global Issues

Scene Flow promises to be a catch all solution for open-world detection of moving objects, but in practice they fail on the second most common class in AV datasets pedestrians!
Solving this is the goal of this year's Argoverse 2 Scene Flow challenge! argoverse.org/sceneflow

We’ve been waiting for this moment and now we can share it with you: Today, we received our paid driverless permit from the CPUC! In the coming weeks, we’ll begin charging fares for rider-only trips and welcoming new riders into Waymo One in San Francisco. waymo.com/blog/2023/08/waymo…

Pls stop at #CVPR2023 poster *Tue AM 110* to learn about GC-KPL: a novel method for learning 3D human keypoints from point clouds w/o human labels.
Project: cvpr2023.thecvf.com/virtual/…
Joint work w/ awesome folks @gorban Jingwei Ji, @MahyarNajibi, Yin Zhou, Dragomir Anguelov, @Waymo
Check out our #CVPR2023 paper on 3D Human Keypoints Estimation From Point Clouds in the Wild Without Human Labels youtu.be/vXGPW2nDHZ4
Huge shout out to @JenWeng4 who interned in our team last summer and did all the work!

The only rational move is to ignore all such pronouncements, much like you should have ignored all such pronouncements in 2021 and 2022.
News worth paying attention to is not deliberately formulated to induce strong (negative) emotional responses.

UX people: we're in user experience, UX for short
everyone else: shouldn't it be "UE"?

AI research is fueling the progress of autonomous driving. As part of our contribution to the research community, we’re launching the next round of the Waymo Open Dataset Challenges and expanding the dataset. We invite all researchers to participate and drive innovation forward!
We’re thrilled to launch the 2023 Waymo Open Dataset Challenges to help accelerate research breakthroughs in fundamental AV topics, including underexplored ones such as Sim Agents. Plus, the dataset has grown with additional label types and sensor data. blog.waymo.com/2023/03/drivi…

They're almost certainly doing deep learning based super resolution -- which brings up an interesting question.
It's not "enhancement" of the original, as the details are dreamed up by the model (in this case overfit to moon images).
At what point does it become "replacement"?
Reddit user ibreakphotos discovers that Samsung's 'Space Zoom' simply replaces user's moon photos with higher-res images of the moon through a clever testing process.

This isn't computational photography — it's inserting imagery that simply isn't there.
