Bonus Episode: How to Build a Self-Driving Car with Ian Williams

Autonomous vehicle engineering is a huge challenge and requires the integration of many different technologies. A self-driving car needs data from multiple sensors, ML models to process that data, engineering to couple software and mechanical systems, and much more.

Ian Williams is a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Cruise, and before that worked at Google, Lyft, and eBay. He joins the show to talk about the diverse engineering challenges and strategies associated with building self-driving cars.

This episode is hosted by Tyson Kunovsky. Tyson is the co-founder and CEO of AutoCloud, an infrastructure as code platform. He is originally from South Africa, and has a background in software engineering and cloud development. When he’s not busy designing new GitOps workflows, he enjoys skiing, riding motorcycles, and reading sci-fi books. Check the show notes for more information on Tyson’s work, and where to find him.

As a listener of Software Engineering Daily you understand the impact of generative AI. On the podcast, we’ve covered many exciting aspects of GenAI technologies, as well as the new vulnerabilities and risks they bring.

HackerOne’s AI red teaming addresses the novel challenges of AI safety and security for businesses launching new AI deployments.

Their approach involves stress-testing AI models and deployments to make sure they can’t be tricked into providing information beyond their intended use, and that security flaws can’t be exploited to access confidential data or systems.

Within the HackerOne community, over 750 active hackers specialize in prompt hacking and other AI security and safety testing.

In a single recent engagement, a team of 18 HackerOne hackers quickly identified 26 valid findings within the initial 24 hours and accumulated over 100 valid findings in the two-week engagement.

HackerOne offers strategic flexibility, rapid deployment, and a hybrid talent strategy. Learn more at Hackerone.com/ai.
