💥 Big news: @voyage is being acquired by @cruise! We’ve spent the last 4 years building a self-driving service that restores mobility to those who need it most. Now at @cruise, we will continue to do that, but on an insane, global scale. I’m excited! news.voyage.auto/voyage-acqu…

A car that can drive itself. Built by 60 people. I know the hype in AV has quietened down—perhaps for good reason—but don’t sleep on the autonomy revolution. It’s just beginning!

We just shared 3 hours of fully autonomous driving. Our technology has matured significantly, and trips like this—requiring no human intervention—are the result. The roadway here is in a senior community, where our service moves seniors door-to-door. 👉 vimeo.com/499381448

This was a neat maneuver on a tricky left turn. Why is this challenging? Every 100 MILLISECONDS, a robotaxi _must_ complete the following: 🏁 Process sensor inputs ⤵️ Detect objects in sensor inputs ⤵️ Predict each objects’ next action ⤵️ Devise a safe driving plan Not easy…

Cars are beginning to drive themselves! Slowly but surely, this technology will become ubiquitous. Curious how it works? Here’s 30+ minutes of raw footage of @voyage’s self-driving A.I. in action. Watch exactly how our A.I. sees the world and makes driving decisions. Part 1️⃣

If you can’t tell, I’m crazy excited about what this means for customer adoption. No one wants to ride in a big Roomba on wheels. They want a ride that feels smooth and human-like. I’m pumped HQDM has begun delivering this and is rolled out to our fleet! news.voyage.auto/teaching-a-…

Enter High-Quality Decision Making, our technique that blends safety and intelligence for human-like decision-making. We’ve innovated on all fronts, from robotics to machine learning to dataset creation to validation. The results are super encouraging (see the post for more!)

In traditional @voyage fashion, we’re openly sharing decisions our self-driving A.I. has made that are decidedly not human-like, and which needed refinement. These robotic decisions are _exactly_ why we spent the last 8 months developing a novel, new behavior planner.

🧠 8 months in the making... Learn how we have taught our self-driving A.I. to drive more human-like. This technology is _really_ exciting! Our customers demand a safe, non-robotic ride, and what we’re sharing here is a big step towards that. news.voyage.auto/teaching-a-…

Our self-driving technology hit a big milestone recently. The speed at which computer vision, robotics, machine learning, sensors, and compute is advancing is mind-blowing. The result? Ride after ride after ride looking like this one 😍
