Thank you for your analysis. I just listened to your podcast with Rob (Tesla Daily) and have been re-reading this thread. Your easy to understand explanations have begun (baby steps) to peak my interest and want to dive in more deeply to understand more.
Can you roughly compare the capabilities of AKNET_V9 vs humans?
How do the two compare as far as:
1. amount of raw visual input, 9+ sensors vs two eyes (or even just one!)
2. the level of recognition/labeling
3. decision making capability
4. failure rate
I would imagine:
- the machine is way ahead for 1. vision and 2. recognition, by 20x.
- decision making capability is roughly equal for the next few years (in the limited L2 autonomy cases).
- the machine has more (2x?) success, primarily because it stays alert 100% of time (DDD).
The fact that folks can drive through fog on a snowy road at night with one eye is just astounding.
On the other hand, 40K auto fatalities per year rests primarily on us.
The road to Level 5 autonomy, over the next thirty years, is going to be very fun to witness!
