Our Full Self Future is a podcast about autonomy and intelligent machines, recorded while autonomous systems are in operation. Each episode explores how self-driving systems, robotics, and autonomous agents actually work, from perception and planning to simulation, hardware constraints, and real world data collection. The show provides technical understanding to semi non technical listeners while staying entertaining and high production. The podcast is company agnostic. We examine different approaches, tradeoffs, and failure modes across the autonomy industry and focus on what it will realistically take to build autonomous systems we can trust.

    Episode 1 - Coast to Coast on Cameras: Autonomy, LiDAR, and Hardware 3 with David Moss

    In Episode 1 of Our Full Self Future, the host is joined by David Moss, a professional LiDAR salesman, FSD super-user, and known online as "David Squared." The conversation takes place while driving through Lexington, Kentucky at night using Tesla Full Self-Driving on Hardware 3. The episode centers on the irony of a LiDAR professional who has driven nearly 12,000 intervention-free miles using a vision-only autonomous system. David discusses his coast-to-coast drive, his upcoming Cannonball Run attempt, and his goal of driving Full Self-Driving in all 50 U.S. states. Beyond the technical debate of LiDAR versus vision, the conversation explores the human motivation behind autonomy. David shares how his father recently went blind, changing his view of autonomous driving from a technical novelty into a tool for independence and accessibility. Technical topics include SLAM, data density, scalability, Hardware 3 versus Hardware 4 limitations, retrofitting challenges, and Full Self-Driving version 14 behavior. The episode also covers why parking lots may be the final major challenge for consumer autonomy and how new occupancy networks and agent-based systems could help solve it.
