Ernst Dickmanns, a German scientist who developed self-driving cars in the 1980s
It surprises many non techies I talk to (and techies too) to learn that AI hasn't really come very far in a few decades. We're a bit faster (by orders of magnitude to be sure), but AI "summers" are characterized primarily by it being a bit cheaper to put old limited things in products, and not by some abstract march of tech progress.<p>Given Moore's law, I'd be surprised if we ever see another AI summer after the current one peters out.
