Tesla AI day: Q3

Seems like our fundamental disagreement is that I believe an L5 test vehicle doesn't not have to have fallback implemented in any form.

Yes, but that is factually wrong.

Such a system is inherently required in the design of an L5 system

It does not have work well initially (hence the testing) but it has to exist

Otherwise dumb cruise control is ALSO an L5 test car they just haven't gotten around to adding any other features to yet.

Anybody have any thoughts on how persistent those spacial RNN maps are? I'd be surprised if they have a long term persistence, but that would be really useful for oft travelled paths.

One thing I found interesting is how Tesla states that larger models perform better. The larger models don't fit in the car. They use them for tasks such as auto labeling. This tells us that Tesla knows that hardware 4 is going to do a better job. And suggests that hardware 5, 6, etc... will be great.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but here is where hardware 4 was discussed:
10,855 seconds into the video:

1. Next generation camera.
2. HW3 300% better than human, HW4 1000% better.

10,281 seconds into the video:

1. There will be hardware 4 or self driving computer 2
2. Which we will probably introduce with the cybertruck, maybe in about a year or so.
3. About 4 times more capable roughly
4. Can we take it for the sake of argument from 300% safer than a human to 1000% percent safer?
5. We let below average people drive.
