I have to disagree with you here. But first comparing your Tesla to a PacMan game from 1980 is a stretch. I would suggest that the HW of all computers will have a dramatic effect on frame rates when older computers run modern games they will stutter, skip and lower the resolution. Modern games "look" remarkably different on different generations of HW.
But that's not what we're discussing.
We're discussing running
old games (the current version of AP/FSD) on
new hardware.
Which doesn't help you out at all.
That's the point.
The
code is still old.
There's nothing out yet that takes advantage of the greater power in HW3 other than the non-functional visualiations.
All the "driving" code is still running the same on both systems.
in fact Elon mentioned that until they DID issue HW3-only driving code you were actually slightly
worse off with HW3, because it was running the 2.5 code in emulation- versus 2.5 running it natively.
So while I haven't run the tests either I have to imagine things like Speed limit and lane detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, Advanced Summon and everything else has to benefit from faster processing power.
Bet ya money they won't (with current code)
The phantom braking, hesitant lane changes and other AI learning issues have to improve with faster HW, simple physics.
The car doesn't
do AI learning locally- so again- no.
That's not physics, that's you not understanding what the local HW actually is doing.
Individual cars don't "learn"
At all.
The master stuff back at HQ gets trained, based on fleet-wide data collect- and then fleet-wide updates are pushed out as OTA software updates.
Your cars behavior doesn't change other than between SW updates from Tesla, and it doesn't "learn" anything locally from your own driving.
