When you read this, you’ll never think about autonomous vehicles the same way again! I want to talk about some discussions I had with Daniela Rus, the director of our own CSAIL lab at MIT. Highlighting some pioneering work on autonomous driving as we brainstorm, he talks about what people are already doing (with Dall-E etc.) creating images from text. “What else can we use text to create?” he asks, specifically mentioning text-to-drive, which is a major focus at CSAIL right now. And I’m proud of what they do! Recently, Rus talked about how to reach these kinds of goals.Knowledge…
