    Sometimes, we wish the world could pause ⏸️- just long enough to collect perfect data. But in reality, all the moving objects captured during an acquisition inevitably leave their mark in the point cloud. And that’s a real challenge when we’re trying to create a 3D map to navigate in it. 🚀 That's why we developped Exwayz #DOC, our unsupervised classification module! This feature was developped while working on a super interesting research project with Simon de Moreau, that you will hear of in the coming months. It exploits the results of #DOC for a very original application, we can't wait to unveil it 😎 #DOC automatically classifies the majority of points measured on dynamic objects - no manual input, no pre-trained models, and no hassle. This makes it incredibly versatile for new, unseen use cases, and accelerates a lot the tedious task of map cleaning. What’s more satisfying than watching the transformation? 💡 See the before-and-after magic of our classified point clouds in the first comment below! A by-product of this method is a super sharp ground segmentation, which is really useful for finishing the map cleaning work and removing remaning objects 🧹 #3D #Mapping #PointCloud Hassan 🤖 Bouchiba Antoine Plat

    Is Your B2B Marketing Strategy Built for Today—or Still Stuck in Yesterday? Here’s the hard truth: if you’re a tech startup still relying on trade fairs, static websites, or generic paid ads, you’re falling behind. ❌ Modern B2B marketing isn’t about throwing money at outdated tactics. ✅ It’s about scaling trust, building viral engagement, and driving inbound leads—without breaking the bank. The question is: how do you achieve this? Yesterday’s Playbook: • Trade fairs = heavy costs, uncertain ROI. • Static websites = uninspired, forgettable brochures. • Generic paid ads = broad reach, minimal conversions. • Long cycles = 3–5 years for noticeable progress. These methods worked yesterday. But today? The winners are playing an entirely different game.

    From 50 miles per critical intervention to 100,000 in 18 months 😳 Tesla FSD is scaling like software, not hardware. 😮💨 (Who still thinks Elon is overpromising?) The rate of improvement in Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) disengagement ratio is unprecedented. Scaling laws for real-world AI and autonomous driving are proving true, and Tesla seems way ahead competition. Here’s a breakdown of the progress: 1. Version Over Version Improvements ↳ v12.4: 5-10x better miles per critical intervention (mpci) than v12.3 (Source: Elon Musk, X.com). ↳ v12.5: 3x better than v12.4 (Source: Tesla AI, X.com). ↳ v13: Projected 5-6x better than v12.5, reaching over 10k mpci (Source: Tesla 3Q Earnings Call). ↳ Compared to v12.1 (Jan 2024): 100x better by v12.5 and 1,000x better by v13. 2. Projections for 2Q25 ↳ Tesla expects FSD to exceed human driving safety by 2Q25, potentially hitting ~100k mpci. ↳ Current human driving safety (USA): ~60k miles per incident (Source: U.S. crash statistics). ↳ Waymo’s 2023 disengagements: ~17k miles per disengagement (Source: California DMV). Tesla is scaling much faster. Key Observations • Scaling and Data: Tesla’s edge is its massive fleet data, better inferencing hardware (HW5 expected in 2024), and relentless training cycles. This is allowing Tesla to achieve leaps in mpci while keeping costs low. • Cybercab Strategy: A new, fully autonomous vehicle like the Cybercab (with no steering wheel, $25k price point, and faster production cycles) makes Tesla’s FSD adoption a tangible reality. Public education is key, and the Cybercab acts as the perfect advertisement for Tesla’s tech. • Discrepancy in Disengagement Ratios: User-reported disengagements tend to skew higher because drivers feel more responsible in Tesla vehicles compared to the hands-off experience of riding in a Waymo. Passenger mindset significantly reduces the perception of risk. Future Implications 1. Car Ownership ↳ Robotaxi fleets could reduce the need for car ownership but also make ownership profitable by turning personal vehicles into revenue-generating assets. 2. Autonomous Trucking ↳ Tesla Semi going autonomous could revolutionize logistics, reducing shipping costs and delivery times while reshaping employment in the transportation sector. 3. Regulation ↳ The lack of national regulations slows deployment. A unified framework is essential to unlock autonomy’s full potential. The Big Picture Tesla has faced criticism for overpromising FSD timelines, but the progress is undeniable. They’re reaching a tipping point where autonomy becomes not just viable, but transformative. The vision of 2-4M Cybercabs reshaping urban mobility feels like science fiction turning into reality. What do you think—will Tesla deliver on this vision by 2025? Let’s discuss. ♻️ if you found this post useful Want to scale your tech brand on LinkedIn? I help tech brands scale from 0 to omnipresent (+100.000 impressions and 3-5 leads / month)

    German Automotive Giants: Oil Tankers Headed for an Iceberg? 🫣 German companies like VW, Bosch, and ZF often justify slow innovation with the metaphor: “It takes time for an oil tanker to change direction.” But here’s the problem—what if there’s an iceberg ahead, and you don’t have miles to maneuver? This is the grim reality German automakers and suppliers are facing. For over a decade, experts have warned about the need for fundamental shifts: 1. Software-Centric Design: Moving from hardware-focused manufacturing to digital-first products. 2. Rapid Product Iteration: Cutting development cycles from 3-5 years to weeks or months. 3. User Experience: Competing with tech-driven designs that feel like “smartphones on wheels.” Despite these warnings, the industry has struggled to adapt. Now, the iceberg is here: • VW is battling EV stagnation and software delays, risking its competitive edge. • Bosch plans to cut 5,500 jobs, citing a slower-than-expected shift to electric and automated driving technologies. • ZF has announced up to 14,000 layoffs, focusing cuts in its electric drive division. The Fallout These companies risk following the path of Nokia, Kodak, and Blackberry—giants that couldn’t adapt to disruptive changes. The Numbers Don’t Lie 1. Bosch ↳ 5,500 job cuts by 2027. ↳ Hit hardest: Advanced driver assistance and automated driving divisions. 2. ZF Friedrichshafen ↳ Up to 14,000 jobs eliminated by 2028. ↳ Focus: Weak demand for electric vehicle components. 3. Volkswagen ↳ Factory closures and union unrest loom as EV sales falter. ↳ Mounting losses in China from faster, cheaper competitors. The Big Question Will these job cuts and restructuring efforts be enough to steer German automotive clear of disaster? Or will the iceberg sink more than just a single company? The entire industry is at a crossroads, and time is running out. What do you think—can these giants adapt, or is the iceberg too close? Let’s discuss.

    Why Tesla is Lightyears Ahead in Autonomous Driving While VW has failed 🙈 (Here’s why Germany has lost its edge) What if the same mistakes that led to Nokia’s downfall are now holding back Germany’s automotive giants? Outdated thinking, scattered strategies, and rigid leadership are leaving companies like VW far behind Tesla. Here’s what’s driving the gap: 1. Software Integration vs. Scattered Systems ↳ Tesla builds software and hardware as one unified system. ↳ VW struggles with fragmented solutions across 10s if not hundreds of departments, components, suppliers and entities. 2. Digital-First vs. Mechanical Roots ↳ Tesla approaches cars as software-centric digital devices. ↳ VW still clings to its identity as a mechanical engineering powerhouse, slowing down its digital transformation. 3. Speed and Adaptability vs. Top-Heavy Leadership ↳ Tesla moves fast and iterates, adapting quickly to market demands. ↳ VW’s bureaucratic, top-heavy management stifles decision-making and innovation. 4. Dynamic Safety Innovation vs. Formal Overcomplication ↳ Tesla treats safety as an evolving, iterative process, adapting to real-world data. ↳ VW overcomplicates safety with rigid layers of formal processes stifling agility. 5. Unified Vision vs. Patchwork Ecosystems ↳ Tesla’s digital ecosystem is tightly integrated, creating seamless user experiences. ↳ VW’s approach feels like a patchwork of disconnected solutions, driven by bureaucracy rather than user needs. The Bigger Picture Tesla’s dominance isn’t just about technology—it’s about leadership, speed, and a unified vision. German OEMs like VW risk becoming the next Nokia if they don’t rewrite their playbook fast. What do you think—is it too late for VW and others to catch up, or can they still close the gap?
