2019 was a game-changing year for self-driving cars. Many thought we were decades away from fully driverless cars, but they are here, now ✌️

Follow along as I recap just a sample of the amazing work accomplished within the industry in 2019.

1️⃣ @argoai released the super useful Argoverse.

2️⃣ @Waymo published ChauffeurNet, an interesting approach to planning and prediction using Imitation Learning.

6️⃣ @karpathy from @Tesla shared an in-depth look at their novel approach to full self-driving.

7️⃣ @_FiveAI published a lot of interesting work in 2019, but FPR (Fast Path Risk) stood out to me.

8️⃣ @scale_AI released nuScenes, a large-scale self-driving car dataset. ML researchers now have so many high-quality datasets to choose from.

9️⃣ I could go on and on. It's been a great year for self-driving cars.

2020 is going to be even more epic. Science projects are turning into businesses!
