Be Bold and Nimble

Chris Gerdes, Stanford University

Stanford mechanical engineering Professor Chris Gerdes explains his team’s research comparing the performance of their automated vehicle, Shelley, versus two professional race car drivers. The humans had a slight edge over Shelley because they drove their car to its limits and adapted to the path that opened up in the moment – an insight entrepreneurs should heed, Gerdes says.
