fwiw, I agree that progress has been astounding in the past 10 years... but on the other hand I really do wonder what the limits of the current approach is. After all humans don't drive by analysing 1 frame at a time, we have a model of how the world works, we anticipate, we have intuition etc...

I know the whole human flight is different to bird flight argument, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out. Exciting times :)

If the technology stagnates, the hardware stops improving, and the software stops getting better, then we would hit the limit pretty quickly.

All self driving cars also maintain those models as well, and use frame by frame input to correct those models in real time (but they have already guessed where something is going to be 100+ frames from now).

cool! I hope we go all self driving in my lifetime, i'd be so stoked to not have to worry about my young boys driving when they become teenagers :)

If your young boys are like mine, then they are sad that they might not actually get to drive cars in the future. However, my 5 year old already talks a lot about self driving Teslas (too much YouTube?) so what do I know?
