The Prometheus project is one of the most interesting projects almost nobody seems to know about. It is incredibly impressive and one of the most memorable and interesting interactions I've ever had on HN was with the user sokoloff, that recounted his time being an intern for the PROMETHEUS project: |
I'd be curious to know what progress they've made since I worked on VITA-2 as a Daimler intern as part of PROMETHEUS back in 1992. We also had self-driving on highway with a driver sitting attentive next to a red E-stop button to revert to manual control.
We couldn't get the bus to the highway autonomously, but once there, it could self-drive. (I'm sure it's a lot better now, and the hardware much smaller (we had 3 40U racks of equipment) but I'm curious.)
