Our guest today is Biao Ma. Biao is a VP of Engineering and the head of autonomy at Cyngn. He has spent his career in the autonomy space. He brings engineering expertise to the entire stack, including perception, planning & control, mapping & localization, and simulation.  He was a software architect for Baidu’s autonomous driving division and has a master’s degree in software engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.

In this conversation, we’ll be talking about the five significant changes that have come to the Autonomous Vehicle sector in the last five years. Biao defines “massive” as changes that either (a) didn’t exist five years ago or (b) have improved by many, many multiples.
