When is peak? When it is needed most? Right before a decision is needed to be made?

Multi-model means multiple modes. FSD will have predictions for different possibilities what a car will do. For example: 70% chance will continue, 20% chance will turn, 10% will stop. Multi-model may mean that the algorithm used depends upon the situation. For example if near an intersection.

More lanes mapped? Is this a right turn lane, a bike lane, etc...
> New VRU velocity model with 12% improvement to velocity and better VRU clear-to-go performance.
VRU = vulnerable road user. Pedestrian, bike, escooter, etc... Thanks to Daniel in SD for that.
> Model trained with "Quantization-aware-training" (QAR), an improved technique to mitigate int8 quantization.
int8 quantization is used during machine learning training. Initially floating point was used, but to conserve memory a switch was made to int8. This introduces rounding errors. QAR is a technique used to take into account the rounding error, and provide better overall performance.
> Enabled inter-soc synchronous compute scheduling between vision and vector space processes.
They have a new task scheduler that is synchronous based. In other words, discrete time blocks are allocated for computer vision and vector computation.
> Planner in the loop is happening in v10.
The planner is what FSD is going to do. "in the loop" suggest this will be given a discrete amount of time to compute also. This is compared to an unbounded amount of time to compute and interrupted as needed by the task/process scheduler.
> Shadow mode for new crossing/merging targets network which will help improve VRU control.
There is a new algorithm being tested for VRU prediction for pedestrians, bikes, e-scooters, etc that are crossing in the cars path or merging.
