For example, to build a model that simulates a driving task, a modeler needs to build a driving simulation environment so that the model can interact with the simulated vehicle.
"Well, just before I came to the hospital I spent three hundred dollars on Astro-Turf and PVC pipe, trying to build a driving range in my dining room".
The problems stem largely from the trustees' decision in 2000 to lease the last major piece of vacant land at City College to an entrepreneur who built a commercial driving range there.
A team of students from Palos Verdes High School in California, led by a seventeen-year-old named Chris Seide, built a self-driving "Doom Buggy" that, Thrun recalls, could change lanes and stop at stop signs.
Using some 10,000 drawings of the Big Dig project, researchers built a virtual roadway for a driving simulator at the university.
It's why projects like the joint effort between Honda and SoftBank to build a robotic driving assistant that aims to foster "friendship" might actually have more potential than other pairings between cars and computer companies that focus more on translating existing models of mobile computing to in-vehicle experiences.
He says, what they built, and Benioff was a driving force, was a great environment for building, marketing and delivering software.
There, he built a dream team — with Michael Schumacher driving — that won the constructors' title in 1999 and both the constructors' and drivers' titles from 2000 to 2004.
That's not surprising — Alphabet's efforts to build a self-driving car could be kneecapped by Uber's rollout of its own self-driving car fleet.
He admits he's no designer, but he built a roughshod private plane-versus-driving comparison tool into AirPooler (though its driving cost estimates seem a bit high).
