George Hotz, the hacker and entrepreneur who as a teenager became famous as the first person to jailbreak the iPhone and then the PlayStation 3, is determined to build a human-level artificial general intelligence. As a first step, he's racing to build the world's first fully self-driving car system.

Hotz's company, comma.ai, which has raised $8.1 million, is competing against giants like Google offshoot Waymo, Amazon-owned Zoox, and General Motors project Cruise. Those efforts rely on custom vehicles with expensive sensor arrays such as LIDAR—light detection and ranging—to identify surrounding objects and people, navigating a pre-mapped path. Hotz says his better-financed competitors have misled the public with hype about what their products can do and on what time scale.

But comma.ai takes a radically different approach, using vision alone to analyze the road ahead and drive as a human would. Its latest product, the comma three, runs on a smartphone processor and plugs into most new cars, taking over the built-in steering, gas, and brake systems. The company's open-source software, openpilot, uses artificial intelligence (A.I.) to ingest the comma three's video feeds and predict where to drive in real time.

While Tesla is also moving toward a vision-only system, Hotz says comma.ai's approach is unique: The latest version of openpilot features the self-driving industry's first "end-to-end" architecture for lane keeping, which means that it won't explicitly identify objects and people or rely on road features such as lane lines. Instead, the software analyzes a scene holistically and determines the most likely path a human would drive.

Hotz says only this approach to computer vision and self-driving can lead to the development of robots that can cook, clean, and do manual labor—and ultimately to an A.I. system that can do everything a human can.

According to Hotz, comma.ai's commitment to open-source software also represents a philosophical split with companies like Waymo that are building closed systems with centralized control. In the self-driving space and the larger tech industry, Hotz is optimistic this will be a "decade of decentralization," and predicts that the 2020s will see distributed systems powered by blockchain technology—including cryptocurrencies like bitcoin—overtake corporate giants like Visa in both trust and value to consumers.
