It's amusing to me how much discussion is around improvements vs. the most recent build. Of course there is going to noise and some videos are going to look worse and others better. The delta in improvement won't be big enough to make a clear difference in all testers.
What we should be doing is ask, how is this version vs. 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months ago?
It seems like there are clear significant improvements over the longer time frames, right?
Where do you think FSB beta will be in another 6 months, another year?
Ofcourse its gonna improve. The real question is what is the rate of improvement versus other AV systems. But based on what we are seeing their rate of improvement is akin Nissan and not Google. They have a very average but subpar rate of improvement.
Tesla fans always claim this exponential magic rate that is 100% fabricated and doesn't exist. What tesla fans should be praying that their rate of improvement is atleast as good as Waymo.
