Why would I go read his blog posts? I’ve spent ~years talking to the guy on irc.

Why would reading HN takes influence my views on him over my personal experiences?

You’ve spent years talking to him and your conclusion to his work is that he’s not successful/well-known in the car self-driving field?

Boy, he must have seriously pissed in your Cheerios. Which of your suggestions did he shoot down?

No doubt he’s well known.

Successful? Comma.ai has raised a rather small amount of money and hasn’t delivered anything except a toy for a couple of nerds.

I really can’t imagine by which metric you’d call his work in self-driving “a success”. It certainly hasn’t been a commercial success.

I rest my case. Go troll elsewhere.

What has comma.ai delivered? Who are their customers?
