Hacker builds autonomous car in just one month – Daily News – Lisbon

George Hotlz took only a month to put an Acura ILX to walk alone at full motorway

There are nine , was the first to hack an Apple iPhone. After that, was the first to hack Playstation 3. Now, after some time considering what would be his new project, presented the financial news agency Bloomberg autonomous car built in just one month in the garage back home.

George Hotz, 26, a Honda Acura ILX equipped with a laser radar system on the roof, a camera near the rearview mirror, a joystick changes in a 21.5-inch screen in the center console with a version of the system Linux operating. Of course there is still a tangle of cables around the car, but as you can see in the video made by Bloomberg, walking alone on the road.

For this, explains George Hotz, just teach the car to drive . As? Simple: just teach it, “watching” what other drivers do. . “We are now in the observation phase not told this car nothing about driving, we showed you for ten hours images of how human conduct and said to him, ‘This is how human conduct, is like them,’” he explained by ensuring that, instead of strict rules, it is intuition. “The idea is to lead naturally as people, not on the basis of safety idea of ​​engineers.”

Still with plenty to do to put this technology to work, Hotz believes that its technology could be sold for about a thousand dollars to car manufacturers or individual client, a much lower cost than the technology that Google or Tesla are developing.

“I’ll be the next millionaire CEO,” aims George Hotz .

The Tesla reacted however to history, through a Tweet Elon Musk, CEO of the company.

“It is extremely unlikely that a single person or even a small business are able to produce an autonomous driving system to be implemented in production vehicles can function as a demo limited in a known stretch of road -. Tesla had such a system two years ago – but then requires huge resources to meet millions of miles of roads too different, “he says.
