Summer school dissects SOTA self-driving stacks one by one, showing they don't generalize
ftm_guney · x · 2026-09-18
An SSAD 2026 summer school attendee describes researcher Holger going through the SOTA solutions in autonomous driving one by one, listing each stack's tricks and showing why they fail to generalize — calling it his favorite session of the school.
The takeaway: the field needs more of this pessimistic-but-accurate view of self-driving, pushing back against the prevailing hype.
