A lot of the problems John mentioned (camera jpeg, latency, real time decisions) have been worked on by comma.ai for many years. He could have just used their stack and build on it the general learning parts that comma is not focusing on.

Reuse is not always necessary - sometimes things are just done for fun and exploration, not for appeasing thirsty VCs and grabbing that market share.

Reinventing the exact same thing and shouting from the rooftops about it is exactly how you appease thirsty VCs and grab that market share.

Might I interest you in my new startup, that is a bus, but with technology?

Why would John Carmack who is so rich that he does things for shits, giggles and personal development, give a hoot what a VC cares about?

This is Carmack, who builds new things. He built one of the first 3D game engines based on the hard math.

Carmack himself has done a lot of work on end to end latency, during his time at oculus.
