Henrik Fisker Quotes

Uber's issue, I think the biggest one is driverless cars. That could be a complete reset to the business.

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.

From a technology and economic perspective, it's vastly more likely that autonomy will be used for mobility services.

Google was the right place to pioneer robot cars.

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

Technology is rapidly changing our transportation systems, and if we craft smart regulations, these changes can be for the better.

It's going to be interesting to see how society deals with artificial intelligence, but it will definitely be cool.

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

Even as a college professor at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford, I saw myself as an entrepreneur, and I went out, took risks, and tried to invent new things, such as participating in the DARPA Grand Challenge and working on self-driving cars.

People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around, you're like, Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.

Google's founders have had a good eye for imagining what technologies will be significant in the near future. No one asked Google to develop self-driving cars, but it helped them with street views for Google Maps.

I know well the opportunities and the challenges of maintaining and improving infrastructure and providing good transportation choices.

When we try to make a car that drives itself, we believe - whether we're right or not - we believe that there would be strong net positive benefit to the world if cars could drive themselves safer than people could.

If Uber wants to catch up to Google and be the leader in autonomy, we have to have the best minds. We have to have all the great minds.

Baidu's AI is incredibly strong, and the team is stacked up and down with talent; I am confident AI at Baidu will continue to flourish. After Baidu, I am excited to continue working toward the AI transformation of our society and the use of AI to make life better for everyone.

When you think of driverless cars, there's a huge potential for these cars to save lives by preventing accidents and by reducing congestion on highways.

In the future, we'll be working and relaxing in cars.

Civil engineers build bridges. Electrical engineers, power grids. Software engineers, apps. From the engineers who created the Great Pyramids to the engineers who are designing and developing tomorrow's autonomous vehicles, these visionaries and their tangible creations are inextricably linked.

Humans violate the rules in a safe and principled way, and the reality is that autonomous vehicles in the future may have to do the same thing if they don't want to be the source of bottlenecks.

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.

Sergey and I founded Google because we're super optimisitc about the potential for technology to make the world a better place. Think about how many people are underserved by transportation today, like those with disabilities, and how self driving cars will transform their lives. Or the wasted time you sit in your car every day commuting to and from work. Or the deaths and injuries that could be avoided.

Mobile is the perfect example of what is enabling economic growth in the technology sector.

Did Google need to make robot cars in order to make Streetview work? Absolutely not. It's the equivalent of saying you need a walking robot in order to push an upright vacuum cleaner. It's gratuitous robotics!

Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around, you're like, Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.
