Not having that big discrete GPU is a big difference. This is really interesting though — I wonder if this is similar in compute power to that second Parker node on ap2.5? If so, that might support the theory that AP2.5’s secondary node is still powerful enough to do some basic image recognition in the event of a hardware failure.

AP2.0 Cameras: Capabilities and Limitations?

The TX2 does 1.5TFLOPS in FP16 (equivalent to 0.75 TFLOPS FP32). Tesla's PX2 can do 4 TFLOPS, so roughly 5x the computing power.
We can compare the camera positions with those of the new Audi A8. This has a 360 degree view although it uses only 6 cameras. The postions are relatively similar except for the 2 backwards which he does not have, so we can safely assume that there is 360 degrees for the Tesla. I hope Tesla puts it together and animates it just like Audi did.
Where is the front facing camera on the Audi A8? (There is no way it can see directly in front of the car if it is in the windshield like on the S/X/3.)
Audi typically has a separate front camera in the grill below the Audi rings for parking. They do not share their ADAS cameras with their parking cameras.

Use of tape to degrade the cameras (tape isn't 100% opaque) - with 2018.10.4 running.
Front facing radar and short-range ultrasonics not obstructed.

In my opinion, discussed in another thread here, he do not cover the front cameras well enough. He does it in two tries - the first one is only covering to 2nd heat thread - no wonder AP works. The second try still has an opening on the bottom.
This could explain the regression in auto wiper function that many people cited if the wiper wipe based on the cameras ability to see the lines

Yes, but if I remember the video correctly, he concluded before adding the extra tape. And, there is still a few cm opening on the lower end.I'm confused about your comment as he then added to more rows of tape!
A typical scientific failure - eureka! blown up in the news - but not yet confirmed from others, and then one finds the experiment had not control of all the variables.

Went out earlier today to put this to the test. Sorry for bad audio recording, video should be pretty clear, though: *debunked*. Properly and fully covering the front camera's disables Autosteer. Didn't have time for a more thorough test unfortunately. Would've liked to also test partial front-unit covering with B-pillars fully covered.
video of my test:
I did a more extensive 2018.6.1 vs. 2018.10.4 test on Monday, haven't had time to edit and put together that footage yet. My findings: doesn't give "take over immediately - hands on the wheel"-warnings anymore while taking difficult corners on local roads when it can't steer through a sharp turn itself, where it did display and give an audio warning before in 2018.6.1. Also improvements that have been noted by many others like better cornering driving on- and off-ramps - not stickering to or on the outerlane, but keeping the car center. Less availability on local roads, on locations where before in 6.1 it could navigate and activate Autosteer - without any painted lines present - on just the curb contrasting with the road surface.

They needed more Lidars to see in the dark. Goes to show to everyone saying Lidars will solve vision Because they can see in the dark. Also, if the vision was available, This literally was a basic two objects on direct path of collision problem.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic
