  1. Our readingRobotics is not easier than self-driving; it is simply being attempted in a year when perception actually generalises.

    Their wordsSo, that's not an argument about robotics being easier than autonomous driving. It's just an argument for 2025 being a better year than 2009.

    Interesting

  3. Our readingLanguage models supply robots with the one thing self-driving never had: common sense about what is likely to happen next.

    Their wordsuh common sense meaning the ability to make inferences about what might happen uh that are reasonable guesses but that do not require you to experience that mistake and learn and learn from it in advance that's tremendously important and that's something that we basically had no idea how to do uh about 5 years ago but now uh you we can actually use LLMs and VLMs ask them questions and they will make reasonable guesses
