I like the “(improvements are) very difficult to achieve without upgrading the vehicle inference computer” part of that statement. Sounds highly technical lol.
Presumably this is referring to 12.5.x where 12.4.x "only" increased the training data and training time while the newer one also increased neural network size to take advantage of additional training compute for the potential for it to learn more nuanced differences in expected behaviors.

But also still good news for HW3 as 12.5.x -> 12.6.x can "just" be additional training similar to 12.4.x.
 
Otherwise it doesn't really make sense to say fewer interventions but less smoothness
12.4.x was trained on 12.3.x interventions where drivers needed to "do something." Most of driving is just staying in lane continuing straight at the same speed, but if the neural networks are overfit believing a "just keep driving" situation is actually "do something," this makes it less smooth because it does things unnecessarily such as switching lanes or slowing down.

It's fewer interventions when evaluated based on the training data, but based on real world everyday driving, people probably found the rate of intervention not to be as big of an improvement due to these unnecessary smoothness issues.
