Most of use that work with machine learning (AI) know that it's the edge cases that get you. I'm working on a project now that took me 1 day to build and on month 3 trying to work out a single edge case that's preventing us from releasing the product.
Telsa got to 95% of FSD pretty quick (a few years) but that last 5% are edge cases and could take a long, long, long, long time to work out if they even can be.
This is the issue with machine learning in general and why you'll never see AI "take over" like so many people seem to claim. Even ChatGPT is hilariously bad vs a human at writing software and it's all over the news and YouTube like it's going to put all software developers out of a job this year. Won't ever happen.
Tesla is banking on "vision" (cameras + machine learning) to solve every case, I just don't think it's possible. I think it's admirable trying.
Guaranteed the reason FSD is $15,000 now is to limit the number of people using it, hence limiting liability exposure. Lawyers were involved in that price increase.
You would have to create and raise an AI that has all the sensory inputs of a human and goes through all the interactions a human does from birth to learning how to drive and then, at the age of about 25, it would probably be good enough. As humans, we take for granted what we know.
Computers are slow when cross referencing complex information, humans are fast. A thought exercise ... walk into a kitchen you've never been in before and then you'll notice, in about 80ms, that you recognize most everything in the room just at a glance and know that the stove is hot, the knife is sharp, the floor is wet therefore slippery, etc, etc. Machine learning requires that to be trained and it's not an insignificant task.
I wish to be proven wrong by Tesla, they have mad skills working on these problems.
