Watch this video. It is pretty remarkable. It is about a 26 your-old kid named George Hotz. This kid may be familiar to you because when he was 17 years old he led the efforts to jailbreak the iPhone and unlock it so you could install apps outside of the Apple App Store and also unlock it to use on carriers other than the carrier that came with the iPhone. ' For years, I and others who jailbroke our iPhones relied on Hotz's efforts. He was amazing. Apple would always patch the holes that allowed Hotz to jailbreak the iPhone and he would always find a new way to unlock it. It was so impressive. So it turns out now he is hacking together his own autonomous driving car. And the big thing is he is using a computer technology called "deep machine" learning. This is a method other than used by Google and Tesla. Deep machine learning, in Hotz's car, allows the computer to watch how you drive and then learn from you how you drive to eventually learn how to drive autonomously. This is amazing. What happens when his deep machine learning pools information from multiple cars using his technology. It will make an even smarter driving car. He says his technology could result in $1,000 kits being installed into cars to make them autonomous. Given his iPhone jail breaking history, I bet he will disrupt Tesla, Google and even Apple and beat them at making a better autonomous car.
