This is an astounding engineering achievement. I love how they were able to do all this autonomy with fisheye lenses -- the only navigation cameras are pointing up and down!

It's incredibly rare that a company is on the cutting edge of both software and hardware. There are hardly any other companies in this category. I'd say:

- SpaceX (the control software for landing is outstanding)

- Apple (although their software isn't the best, i.e. Siri, or how late to the game they were with night sight)

- Not Tesla (hardware is incredible, auto pilot is struggling)

- Not Amazon (Kindle is great, but not a remarkable engineering achievement)
