Are You Ready to Make SLAM Available Outside of Volkswagen?

Volkswagen's new machine learning system can learn a factory floor in 10 images per second. The company has made the technology open source and plans to make it available outside of Volkswagen as well. CEO Patrick Ghitis: "Software is supposed to be not free, not free is in the free beer" 'If you don't do that, then all of the investment that you do in R&D is open for grabs for your competitors,' he says.
