Riding the first production Mercedes shipped with NVIDIA's full self-driving stack

AI engineer Harper Carroll (Stanford, ex-Meta, ex-NVIDIA-acquired startup) published a ride-along video for NVIDIA's GTC Berlin: the first production car to ship with NVIDIA's full self-driving stack, a Mercedes, driving through San Francisco. She notes the software+hardware spans up to Level 5 (driverless anywhere a human could drive) and argues autonomy is statistically much safer than regular driving. The post is heavily wrapped in self-promotion for her AI education brand.
