Ta - I was trying to remember who the YC startup were trying the same stuff. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7933045

Seems they recently raised $15m http://techcrunch.com/2015/09/18/cruise-2/

Wonder how they compare tech wise to Geohot's thing

what's with making text so thin you can't even read?
I hope the design was originally with a different image. And then the image was changed, and it wasn't redesigned.
The text that isn't overlaying images is terrible too. It's too thin for subpixel rendering to look decent. There's not enough contrast for viewing on a TN LCD panel unless it's in the middle of the screen.

Oi. This is not the kind of thing I want kickstarted.

I'd prefer my autonomous cars to have gone through insane amounts of testing, regulation, etc. This is just too new of a field, and the amount of edge cases you have to handle is practically infinite.
