John Knoll Quotes

My opinion is it's a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

Your car should drive itself. It's amazing to me that we let humans drive cars... It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.

Some Google employees have their self-driving vehicles take them to work. These car robots don't look like something from 'The Jetsons'; the driverless features on these cars are a bunch of sensors, wires, and software. This technology 'works.'

The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don't realize are computers at all.

I have been spending the better part of my professional life trying to create self-driving cars. At Google, I am working with a world-class team of engineers to turn science fiction into reality.

If you say you want to automate cars and save people's lives, the skills you need for that aren't taught in any particular discipline. I know - I was interested in working on automating cars when I was a Ph.D. student in 1995.

We can make life in the computer. Granted, it's limited, but we have learned what it takes in order to actually construct it.

The research rat of the future allows experimentation without manipulation of the real world. This is the cutting edge of modeling technology.

Computers are very powerful tools, but in the simulated world of the computer, everything has to be calculated.

We think that computer models represent reality especially if we developed the models.

This is a magical time for computer programming. We are moving towards the artifical intelligence holy grail of programming the computer to simulate the human brain.

Eventually, all cars are going to be autonomous.

I'm a firm believer that autonomous driving is coming.

IT is permeating more industries. Moore's Law knocks down simulation capabilities. We don't need wind tunnels anymore, for example. You can run experiments more quickly.

When you start to automate, you start to do the self-driving thing, you make it much more efficient. When these cars go into self-driving, you start to become a robotics company.

We're doing a lot of work on self-driving cars. We do not currently have cars in the U.S., but we plan to, for development and testing. I think we are within striking distance of making self-driving cars a reality, and these would be powered by deep learning.

I believe in the potential of all things possibly imagined that can be made into a reality. My uncle was a Swedish scientist, and in the 1970s, he would speak of computers controlling most things in the future and self-driving cars and wireless communication. All the things that we are living with now.

The self-driving car revolution was kicked off by The 'DARPA' Grand Challenge to make an autonomous car traverse 132 mi. of a desert.

Google was the right place to pioneer robot cars.

I think it's very clear now that we will have self-driving cars.

It's challenging to drive in a way that's human-like.

The energy that's going into autonomous vehicles is very significant, and we expect to continue to invest there.

All the technology going into self-driving cars is robotic technology. It's not automotive. That explains why some of the traditional automotive players didn't develop this technology.

You never know, the way technology is going, we might all use the games for scouting by the time I retire.

I've always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that.
