Technology Self driving platforms
I asked ChatGPT about the self driving platforms.

1. Which self driving platform is doing well right now

Chat: There are several companies that are working on self-driving platforms, and it is difficult to say which one is doing the best at any given time. Some of the companies that are actively working on self-driving technology include Waymo, Cruise, Argo AI, and Aurora. All of these companies have made significant progress in developing self-driving systems and are at different stages in the development process.

2. What about the Apollo platform from Baidu

Chat: Baidu's Apollo platform is a comprehensive and powerful self-driving platform that has been widely adopted in China and other parts of the world. It was launched in 2017 and has since become one of the most widely used self-driving platforms, with more than 100 partners and 100,000 developers worldwide. The platform includes a range of tools and resources for developing autonomous vehicles, including high-definition maps, a software development kit (SDK), and hardware modules for perception, planning, and control. In addition to providing a comprehensive set of tools for developing self-driving vehicles, Baidu's Apollo platform also has a strong focus on safety and has implemented a number of measures to ensure the safety of autonomous vehicles on the road.

3. What about FSD of Tesla

Chat: Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology is a suite of advanced driver assistance systems and self-driving capabilities that are being developed by Tesla. The FSD system is designed to eventually enable fully autonomous driving, allowing the car to drive itself without any input from the driver. Tesla has been working on its FSD technology for a number of years, and the company has made significant progress in developing its capabilities. Tesla's FSD technology includes a range of sensors and cameras that allow the car to perceive its surroundings and make driving decisions, as well as advanced algorithms that enable the car to plan and execute driving maneuvers. The FSD system is currently in development and is not yet available for general use, but Tesla has been gradually rolling out various FSD features to its vehicles through software updates.

4. Is Waymo widely used?

Chat: Waymo is a self-driving technology company that was spun off from Google's self-driving car project in 2016. Waymo is widely regarded as a leader in the self-driving industry and has made significant progress in developing its self-driving technology. However, the company's self-driving vehicles are not yet widely used by the general public.

Waymo is currently focused on developing and testing its self-driving technology, with a particular emphasis on the development of autonomous ride-hailing and delivery services. The company has been running a public trial of its autonomous ride-hailing service, Waymo One, in Phoenix, Arizona since 2018, and it has also partnered with a number of companies to develop autonomous delivery services. While Waymo's self-driving technology is not yet widely used by the general public, the company is making progress towards commercializing its technology and it is expected to play a significant role in the development of autonomous vehicles in the coming years.

5. Is Cruise widely used?

Chat: Cruise is a self-driving technology company that was acquired by General Motors in 2016. The company is focused on developing autonomous vehicle technology for use in ride-hailing and delivery services. Like many other self-driving technology companies, Cruise is currently in the process of testing and refining its technology, and its self-driving vehicles are not yet widely used by the general public.

Cruise has been testing its self-driving technology on public roads in a number of cities, including San Francisco, Phoenix, and Detroit. The company has also announced plans to launch a commercial autonomous ride-hailing service in the near future, although it has not yet provided a specific timeline for the launch of this service. While Cruise's self-driving technology is not yet widely used, the company is making progress towards commercializing its technology and it is expected to play a significant role in the development of autonomous vehicles in the coming years.
