yacineMTB, an ex-Tesla Autopilot engineer, showed off a hardware prototype for drone autonomy: all compute and sensors are local and built into the unit, and it's plug-and-play with any drone. He says he's "solved the problem in the general case" and is 98% certain he's ahead of everyone else — all as a hobby project squeezed in between naps of his two kids under two.
