One researcher taught world model Odyssey-3 to drive in India with just 20 hours of data
soleio · x · 2026-09-16
Oliver Cameron, who spent 2015-2023 building self-driving cars, contrasts the pain of that era with today: a single researcher used their latest world model Odyssey-3 and just 20 hours of driving data from Indian roads to teach it to drive — and it works. He calls the result "insane," highlighting how world models are collapsing the data and engineering barriers for autonomous driving.
