Separate names with a comma.
Looks like Quartzite is open and will be through thanksgiving but is having problems so charging is slow. There are 8/12 portable urban chargers...
That 'monster' probably can't be run on HW2+ in a fashion that would actually drive the car. It's too big. We probably only got to see it...
I received a copy of the V10 networks but haven't had time to take them apart yet. My own experience is that V10's behavior is improved in some...
From the autonomy day reveal we know that Tesla had come up with a target of 50 TOPS for the FSD chip before they developed the chip back in 2016....
I'm in the middle of a long road trip (10k miles on AP!) so I can't offer you much detail right now, but I agree with your comments about...
Why would AP2 HW be better right now than HW3? The NN compute capability of HW3 is expected to be far superior to AP2, but the architecture also...
HW2.0 to HW2.5 sensor changes include a different part number for the radar (from a different vendor) and different part numbers for the cameras...
That wasn’t intended as censure. Just an opinion. Please feel free to keep wasting time with the rest of us.
Oh man I seriously LOL’d on that. Good one.
So the disconnect is that we’re comparing an unfinished L4 system to a consumer released L2 system? If manufacturers final product design intent...
I think this probably qualifies as a personal attack.
I agree. Producing their own NN processor required Tesla to build out a dev team and infrastructure and put money into IC development for years...
The vector unit in the patents is an accessory to the AME which expands the range of neural network layer operations that can be efficiently...
pdf of the main patent
I had a look through the recent Tesla patent release. There's one main patent which was filed for in Sept 2017 and 3 extensions filed six months...
Those estimates are so rough they shouldn’t be used as the input to anything. They could easily be off by several times in either direction. The...
Your statement about off highway fatalities being higher gets quoted a lot but it’s false, at least in the US it is. IIHS statistics show rural...
Two months ago Tesla announced 10B fleet miles. Last month they announced 1B autopilot miles. But yeah, my AP usage is over 95% and I was...
How about "Tesla Redundant Inference Processor" for trip?
Not to be a pedant, but I think it’s important to keep in mind that the appropriate comparison today is “human with AP” versus “human without AP”....
Speaking of a concrete feature that requires zero-driver: I've been thinking about an analysis done by Brad Templeton from a couple of years ago....
I get motion sickness so easily that for me the answer is probably never. I can't read a book as a passenger on a straight flat road. Which...
The choice of sound track is rather interesting.
Regarding the man himself - I was refreshing my memory of his history and found this recent article which I found quite illuminating....
I am assuming he excludes Tesla's effort there because he believes (or maybe he knows?) that they aren't doing end-to-end as part of their effort...
Anthony Levandowski - arguably the most controversial and one of the most experienced program leaders in the AV business - has reemerged to start...
That statement is in reference to an earlier version of the software that was only calibrating a couple of the front cameras. Recently...
Sorry this is wrong (doh). Parameters get used HxW times (not HxWxC). Kernels are KxKxC in size (so KxKxC parameters per kernel) and they get...
This talk is an extended simile that is explaining a proposed approach to developing SW2 (NNs in this case) to test driven development and it...
Yes, frame rate matters, but there's a more important item that you might be missing. Parameters in a CNN get used many times and how many times...
AK is making a comment on how performance on a particular training benchmark has evolved over the last couple of years with several specific...
Interesting - it sounds like you're saying part of the calibration process is possibly color calibration. Is that right? I'm not familiar with...
Yes, as far as I know that is true. And I don't know what the actual geometry sensitivity is as it's not something I can work out from first...
Now *that* is an excellent observation. To be sure, it seems that the advanced AKNET_V9 network - the camera agnostic one - is probably not the...
Thanks for sharing that - really interesting. AK's talks are one of the best windows we have into the technical details of AP right now. He...
If you're talking about Comma AI's strategy I wholeheartedly agree. It's really very clever. They get all the advantages of being open source...
I hear from the folks who provide me with files that hacking Tesla's has been getting harder and harder. There seems to be an expectation that at...
Agree. There are certain aspects to the use of NNs in software which is a kind of IP protection that is very powerful in and of itself. First -...
Yeah, they really move around a lot don't they? Very small global changes in the image (even clouds and thermal noise) will cause variations in...
Yeah, cloud TPUs are beautiful. I actually got offered the use of a TPU Pod for a month (105 TPUs, I think) and it's so very tempting. But I'm...
They certainly don't ignore the target application when they design the hardware. But the precise details of the hardware will be tuned to...
The basic dataflow in aknet_v9 is just inception V1. Tesla might be using AUTOML ideas for hyperparameter search but they haven't done it with...
You might want to consider that the final training run for a job is a small fraction of the total time used to develop a neural network. Often...
AWS pricing varies a lot depending on your job constraints, machine type, interconnect and storage requirements, but the pricing you cite is in...
I've detailed that stuff in posts near the beginning of this thread, here's an early one: #7 Bounding box outputs from NNs aren't generated as...
It's not my data to give out. That said - there seem to be a number of people who have the ability to acquire it on their own and are happy to...
You know, I think we’ll get to full self-driving next year. As a generalized solution, I think. But that’s a ... Like we’re on track to do that...
Nice work!
I was super excited to read this stuff. Of course Elon always sounds confident, even when he's talking about really hard deadlines. And people...
That's a good question and I agree with all of your statements. I wish I had a good answer for you. Instead here's my bad answer: I don't have...
