Yes soon @vijayshekhar 🤘

Ping me next time you are in India @AravSrinivas Let me take you for a spin in Blr 🚀

📊 Offline evaluation of e2e models in Autonomous Driving: Why trajectory similarity scores can give a false gratification? Once a model is trained, the next step is evaluating whether it can actually drive — not just mimic past data. A common pitfall here is a lot of research papers over-rely on trajectory similarity score like L2 loss between predicted and actual trajectories, etc. But driving isn’t about perfectly matching one “ground truth” path — it’s about choosing from many valid, safe, and socially acceptable options in a complex world. Similarity scores often fail here because they: (•) penalize valid alternatives, even if they are safe. (•) encourage the model to average across behaviors, producing unsafe, indecisive predictions. (•) doesn’t account for safety, feasibility, or rule compliance. (•) doesn’t reflect closed-loop performance, where small errors compound into big failures. (•) overlook system level issues like sensor noise and latencies which can amplify errors. That’s why at @teamminuszero we are working towards a richer set of evaluation metrics — from multi-modal prediction accuracy to intervention rates, off-road violations, and closed-loop scores.  A robust evaluation framework must capture reliability, generalization, and real-world readiness. #autonomousdriving #fsd #autopilot #llms #foundationalmodels

It was great chat @SriniKay India and emerging auto markets need better ADAS features and faster adoption - road safety is large enough cause we should be focused on. And there is not better place than India to be the developmental hub for next billion auto users. #adas #autopilot #fsd

Recently had the incredible privilege of meeting Indra Nooyi, former CEO and Chairperson of @PepsiCo. The interesting part of the story is that I belong to the generation that used to read about her in high school textbooks 6-7 years back - as a case study in early leadership from Indian diaspora — on what it means to lead with purpose, conviction, and global impact. Meeting her in person just amplified that value. In just a short conversation, I was even more inspired by her leadership demeanor — calm yet commanding, and razor-sharp. It will stay with me for a long time. #Leadership #Inspiration

It was a lovely chat with @brokebiker from @moneycontrolcom talking about @teamminuszero - our vision, the roadmap ahead and how we are building a world class tech in India for the world. Physical AI is poised to be the next disruption in AI, and autonomous driving is the best place to start.

Well there we go! Privileged to be part of #ForbesU30Asia @gursimrankalra7 and I started @teamminuszero three years back as two undergrads with a bold vision to build foundational AI to solve autonomous driving in India. @ForbesAsia @Forbes @ChirataeVC @tcmsundaram #30u30
