Ghost Autonomy's Bold Bet: Harnessing Language Models for Safer Self-Driving-Kyle Wiggers Ghost Autonomy, a startup focused on autonomous driving software, aims to enhance self-driving technology using multimodal large language models (LLMs) with the support of OpenAI and a $5 million investment. Ghost plans to leverage LLMs, which understand both text and images, for complex scene interpretation in self-driving, addressing challenges like navigating construction zones. However, experts express skepticism, viewing the use of LLMs in self-driving as potentially inefficient and premature. Despite criticisms, Ghost's CEO, John Hayes, believes LLMs can improve autonomy by providing reasoning capabilities for diverse driving scenarios, emphasizing ongoing testing and collaboration with automakers to validate and integrate new models.
