The ignorance and narrow-minded people on here is astonishing.
Skepticism isn't narrow minded and ignorant. Cynicism is, and so is the willingness to believe anything (on opposite ends of an extreme). I'm living and breathing ML in the NLP world every day, and I know one thing for sure. It ain't easy.
The system can get exponentially better with NN training.
Can it? Actually mathematically, NN's may require exponentially greater data to become marginally better, depending on where you are on the curve.
How are so many people clueless if this fact? The FSD we see in the fall with be waaaay better than what was shown last month.
Maybe, and we all hope so. But is "waaaaaay" better in line with what has been promised, or something more tangible? When Tesla went from 200 Model 3's per week to 1,000 Model 3's per week, that was "waaaaaay" better, but it wasn't 6,000 per week, which was promised.
There are two conversations going on in this thread. One is "come on, this is progressing and is really cool", which I can buy. The other is "hang on, Tesla are not going to have full autonomy in 2019", which I can also buy. Are you saying that those of us taking that latter position are "narrow minded and ignorant" or "clueless".
So back to my job. It sure ain't easy, but it can be easier with great expectation management. Fact, fiction and fantasy is a wonderful way of framing it.
