Fun fact why he’s called Geohot. He went to my high school, and when they give you an email it’s the first 3 letters of your first and last name.
(Geo)rge (Hot)z.
If your email name was pronounceable it would be adopted as a nickname within the school. Mine was Jalgon.
I respect Hotz, because he is one of the very few who doesn't try to enslave the users.
@5:58 Dude literally said that buyers work for them :D
@@kristapszs1 Lol. Voluntary slavery (crowdsourcing) is cool though.
@@madmax404 literally every major product is voluntary slavery, you dont want to be a slave for Tiktok, X or Facebook then dont use it.
This guy is a massive underdog, can't wait to see him shine!
he has an awesome channel too, if you're into it.
This did not aged well. 4:90 driving in recommended car that is now impossible to insure since 5 year old can steal it.
@@hagestad tf are you saying
Unfortunately like he said his company and he is more like android, ensuring electric freedom but at the same time that concept really makes their progress slow, and always will be an underdog, and like he said at the end of the vid even though elon have the bigger pie, it still taste sweet as hell haha
@@firstdayversion1015basically what you’re saying is, someone is right only because they share your view? 🤣
geohot is one of the big reasons I switched my career track to security work -- it's fundamentally liberating to see the world (the technical substrate that underpins modern life at the very least) through his eyes.
It's great to see one of the greatest minds of our time devoting himself for good. Both in the interview footage and while talking with John, he smiles when saying wither "people can just download the code and add it to old tesla" and "our software is free".
He really sounds and seems like a technologic force for good. I'm not his target audience, but I love it that he's doing what he's doing and how he's doing what he's doing.
lol u obviously haven't known much about him yet. yea he's relatively a "force for good" in the general sense of the word but not because he's good. it's just that he's not bad. he has a nice life. crime (or anything bad) wouldn't get him anything.
'one of the greatest minds of our time' = hilarious statement
@@themodfather9382 Great, buddy! Glad I was able to amuse you, have a nice day for the rest of your life now!

George Hotz embodies that line from Iron Man: "Tony Stark Was Able To Build This In A Cave With A Box Of Scraps" Absolute legend of a man.
Comma user since 2019. I love george hotz.
That guy looks super chill. Wish him success.
"can it buy me an AI girl friend" bro knows his priorities straight man this is true sigma
Probably the smartest guy I've ever come across. God damn, and he uses it for good. Keep this man alive forever please.
I remember hearing about Clip a long time ago but did not know Hotz was the one behind it! Loved this video, the combination of your reporting and interview was awesome.
I remember that kid….he’s brilliant.
Good video, wish it was longer and in more depth.
Awesome to know he is still at it ❤
I’ve been ghost watching long enough, I’m now Subscribed.
as he mentioned there are 3 2h+ interviews on lex friedman podcast with Hotz.
He streams on twitch every now and then
'if you give a toy to a hacker,the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works ' Jamie zawinski ... John you are the best ❤❤
I want 45 minutes video on this kind of topics , not the other ones you usually do.
"i dont care if elon has a bigger share of the pie as long the pie taste awesome.." spoken like a true legend
"I'd rather Elon Musk have a much bigger share of the pie than me as long as the pie tastes awesome"
respect
Im so happy to hear someone this smart and capable say "money cant really buy anything"... excited to see what the future holds!
I worked near by. Would shout out to Geo like a crazy fan 😂 was very happy that he decided to bring his company to San Diego
It's fascinating, I hope more and more people think about innovation this way, as of 2023, still a lot of companies try to keep the old business model, where they sell a new product every 1-3 year with little to no innovation, and as we already have AI tools now, upgradable autopilot feature must be default for new cars and I think any company that doesn't include this feature in base model let's say, should at least add integration ports
You're gunna get so much hate about this being an ad, but as someone very familiar with Hotz and a regular i think you did a good job - i learnt a few new things about him from this video and your delivery felt authentic.
🤷
I don't think he's gonna get any significant hate. It's perfectly natural to be personally excited about a product / company / project that looks genuine. I really hate pushy ads, and this video genuinely made me interested in checking out his products and potentially buying them in future.
Quote from George: Can money buy me an AI girlfriend?😂
Thank you John, for featuring GeoHot in your series. He's a brilliant and revolutionary figure, he’s the very definition of a mad scientist.
I thought I was the only Kenyan who loves geo
Kenyans oyeee
most requested video from my side, and u finally made it, thanku john. ( i requested this video about a few month ago..)
real journalism! thank you!
I had the comma 2 and it was brilliant! It didn't work on my new telluride, and the kia has a great self driving assist. Good to see you think it's still worth it.
It’s evolved beyond assist.
Your channel deserves way more subscribers then it currently has
Always high quality video
he is more persistent than most, almost obsessive when it comes to cracking a problem, but his work is understandable if you study it
Geo hot is a legit god in the scene. Much respect for the man.
How have I never heard about this... Good video!
because George refuses to do any marketing and not even review samples to popular RUclipsrs.
Protect this man at ALL COSTS......
Thats cool af dude greetings from San Diego
George Hortz is a genius pure & Simple
I've had a comma 2 in my 17 Honda Civic and I love it. Looking to get a Comma 3X soon.
Crazy! I think our cartoon narrator "Sticky" will have much more to say about him in one of our future documentaries!
If only shareholders of companies acted like George instead of acting like sharks, we'd probably be at least 5 years ahead technologically
George go all in on autopilot , self driving vehicles . Automation is everywhere, eventually there will be flying cars. And they will land on flat roofs and use an elevator to get down into the building. Dr. X
John man you used to do awesome stories. Why are all your videos becoming ads of companies of your friend group?
This was an awesome ad though. Excited about the future.
The video is discussing George Hotz, also known as geohot, and his work in developing self-driving car technology. The video covers his background, including his hacking of the iPhone and the PlayStation 3, and his current work on the comma 3x device. The comma 3x is a device that can be installed in a car to enable self-driving capabilities. The video also discusses the potential risks and benefits of artificial intelligence and self-driving cars, as well as the future of the industry.
Finally a video on Hotz! Maybe another video on Tinygrad in some time!
love his pie analogy
He looks like he hacked anger, based on that intimidating type of stare look, even though he's actually a nice guy. The womb does that to people.
Wow I remember watching this guys videos from
iPhone hack to the Sony diss track.
what a guy!!! genius! really cool
I have wanted full immersive reality for nearly 40 years. Since I first saw "VR" headsets.
To be so smart and so stupid at the same time is really a marvel.
his livestreams are super technical but a fun watch nonetheless. Cool guy, very smart
I definitely try to watch them in the past and just get lost after hours and hours of not knowing what's going on 😅
But yes they are fun to watch ... In the background 🤓
Someone needs to try a cannonball run with this 😂
Great video
I know I'm not the only one who clicked this video thinking Hotz actually hacked into another company's self drive system 😬😶
Hi John, could you make a research and a Video about RImac, the car Nevera, the Technology, and the latest project he is working on the robotaxi?
Wow as long as the pie taste awesome. I want to think like that
You need to do a video on Alex Becker
Great intro video. can you do a more deep dive on where/how the 3X trains its AI model and also a demo of it in city traffic? So far this seems more of "a hack" to a car's existing cruise control system versus a bottoms up self driving system. Can you try it on another car brand, one that isn't recommended by the company.
The ones that are recommended are because they have egough sensors to be able to do self driving. It just hijacks the sensor outputs
@@emeraldbonsai No, it doesn't. It just sends commands to the CAN bus. Openpilot is still a vision-based system and its vision is from the cameras of Comma devices. That's why it's still Level 2. Level 3 requires environmental awareness so it can do fully autonomous driving. For that Comma devices will require more camera inputs to build a 360° view of the car. Currently, Comma 3x has 360° view of the device only.
Recommended cars are recommended because those cars allow more programmatic control (commands through CAN bus) of the car and Openpilot is more compatible with the system of those cars.
you don't need a computer for self driving : you drive it your self ! ("self-driving")
I can't find the app. Please send me a link. Im sold where do I sign.
Where can you get the "END TO END" cap?
Well done. As always, your video actually showed me something I hadn't already seen everywhere on RUclips.
does it text you when your hyundai is stolen?
Thank you John and George for the insight.
When I got it right, the vehicle needs to have OBD (which I standard since around 20 years).
But it must be possible
- to control (power) steering and
- the brakes
through the OBD interface.
The comma hardware gets the images from the road and from the driver, and some information like speed through OBD. Then it gives
- directions to steering,
- acceleration,
- deceleration and
- brakes.
Correct?
Are there any special requirement as e.g. low cost Dacia (I think all of Renault) is not supported? Are there reasons why some of the Japanese cars are better supported?
Yeah that's pretty much how it works, but the Comma hardware also taps into the radar systems in supported cars too. Toyota as an example adds safety features as standard even on basic models in the United States. Things like emergency braking, lane keep assist, and smart/adaptive cruise control provide computer control for brakes, steering, and acceleration/radar sensors. I personally ran a Comma unit on a Chevy Bolt EV before I sold the car. It was a very nice system.
@@hjjr31 thanks for this information. Since you have some experience with the system, can you comment on how often you had to make interventions or manual takeover when using the system? This video seems to suggest you can just punch in an address and the car will drive you there with no intervention, which seems to put it ahead of Tesla's FSD system. Is this your experience or have I misinterpreted the video?
Also, not sure if you know this at all, but how is a system this compact able to do so much better than Telsa FSD with a tiny fraction of the data and processing power of Tesla's fleet?
Explain how you can connect a device and take over steering, braking and accelerating ? When did this become massively available ? What port does it use ? (OBD2?)
Comma uses mad-in-middle attack/control. It sits between car camera and ECU and sends command to steer and control gas/brakes to your car if there's lane keep assist system in your car. Its still referred to as dev kit which is why it isnt "massively" available. They are pretty well known in tech community and do no marketing. Most people using it know know its limitation as a L2 system (driver MUST ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION)
Most of the cars support drive-by-wire (DbW) since 2016. That's how comma controls brake, shift, steer, and throttle
He is a legend
Wow nice can you make more drive test with it
Nice. This is impressive
My man!
That was a cool video.
Self driving would have to get to the point where the driver doesn’t pay attention at all before it’ll be better than driving actively.
This guy is awesome
Wants a fully immersive VR ... hahahaha WE ARE IN IT ALREADY geez
What a cool guy
That’s the obd2 port
He wants a super intelligent AI girlfriend and fully immersive VR... hmm, I wonder whats those two things for.
You tell us it's much better than the stock system without giving a single reason why.
John was completely irresponsible for not letting that diss track play a little longer
This is the second time I'm watching your video without putting it on 1.75X speed.
What a brilliant mind of Goerge!
I can't hear "Comma" and "Three" without thinking of Tres Commas. Damn good tequila.
I don't know how you do it, but somehow your videos are just more attention capturing then most others, but without all the bloating and click bait that most RUclipsrs use, great vid.
A large staff of talented people and writers. I have a history channel and it takes me 3 months to output a five minute video.
The one and only king of the world
frick yes thank you
Glad he's getting coverage.
i once got an interview with them, and i rejected myself, the questions 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Can install this in my tesla?
Could he please hold his hands still?
How does it check the sides of the car when its merging?
edit: Oh nevermind, its just for lane control
It can use BSM.
GNU/LINUX of machine driving?
Would it be a right phrase?
What you folks are talking about as "commaAI" is, in fact, GNU/commaAI, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus commaAI. CommaAI is not an autonomous driving system unto itself, but rather another crucial component of a fully functioning GNU autonomous driving platform made practical by the GNU core components, algorithms, and essential software components that constitute a comprehensive autonomous driving system as defined by the automotive industry standards. Many vehicle manufacturers utilize a modified version of the GNU/commaAI system every day, without realizing it. Through a unique series of developments, the version of the autonomous driving platform that is widely used today is often referred to as "commaAI," and many of its users are unaware that it is essentially the GNU autonomous driving system, developed by the GNU Autonomous Driving Project. There genuinely is a commaAI, and these individuals are implementing it, but it is just one part of the broader system they rely on. CommaAI is the self-driving technology: the software in the system that controls the vehicle's operations and responses to various driving scenarios. This self-driving technology is an essential part of an autonomous driving platform but can't function in isolation. It can only operate within the context of a complete autonomous driving system. CommaAI is commonly used in conjunction with the GNU autonomous driving system: the complete system is essentially GNU with commaAI integrated, or GNU/commaAI. All the so-called "commaAI" implementations are genuinely distributions of GNU/commaAI. Thanks for taking the time to collaborate with me, your friendly GNU+commaAI enthusiast, Richard Stallman
he is the goat!
How much did you get paid for this video
Most technology innovations are labor augmenting, not labor replacing.
Can’t wait for him to hack all the encryption coming to CB
No harness for either of my vehicles...
so cool
Justify feature. If the vehicle makes an expected lane change for no reason you can tell it. You did not have to change lanes, can you justify why?
Comma AI has drastically improved the quality of my life. Shame that George doesn’t take simple feedback though. I suggested that he make the device in white to prevent overheating. They still sell in black and I’m on my second unit. First one died due to heat.
Man get a cover made out of silicone. Simple
Pretty much everything in dashboards and steering wheels etc in cars are black because black is a neutral color that helps reduce glare and reflections, which can be dangerous/distracting while driving esp at night.
If the device was white it would be lot more likely to see it's reflection on the windshield which is just a no-no for car stuff overall.
You look younger in the car than you do in the studio. You might want to look into the lighting
Bro you're taller than the doorway 🤯
This Tech is phenomenal & terrifying @ the same time what Elon Musk should reach out to him again for collaboration or a buy out.
He built Covid Sheldon.
I think he'd have many more investors if there was no chance that he would get sued--- instead, there is an almost 100% chance that he WILL. Just as Tesla has.
comma is an L2 system. The driver assumes all responsibility of any accidents. The comma device comes with a dashcam software installed which cannot control your car. You have to explicitly install the version that can drive it.
Geohotz also hacked the PS3. :)
I may not agree with George on many things, but the kid works his ass off. He knows 100x more about building autonomous vehicle than Elon. Elon hasn't ever trained a neural network model. Geohotz has solid skills and can hack shit together faster than 80% of the programmers out there. His twitch streams are fun to watch if you're a programmer :)
I'm hoping Tinygrad makes progress with AMD video cards and finally help give NVidia some real competition.
80%? He's in the top 0.1%
