The drive is no better than whole mar's video but what is coming out of Elon's mouth is mind blowing. How V12 is being trained is just 100% videos. In fact the only way for V12 to stop at stop signs fully is by finding <1% of the video data from the fleet of people who actually stopped at stop signs. They did not hard code anything into the software such as traffic lights or roundabouts. Just show videos to the NN and it'll figure it out.

Seems like V12 is a full re-write by AI and not by humans.

I’m not watching the stream but is Elon saying that the big difference between V11 and V12 is that in V11, all of these things were coded to tell FSD what to recognize and what action/function to perform while in V12 all operations and functionality are run by the neural nets now, which require no actual coding, just data training?

Yes, exactly that.

Yes.
 
Basically, no road rules have been programmed. It literally just drives based on what it has learned from watching good drivers drive. They have lots of traditional code in the data center to curate the training videos to find good driving and exclude bad driving. I can’t wait to try it on my funky roads I have around my house.

They did have one intervention in about 30 minutes of driving around Palo Alto. Major intersection, stopped at red light, driving straight, left turn arrows came on and the car tried to go straight but the straight ahead lights were still red.
 
That was an interesting stream by Elon with FSD v12.

I have to wonder if the learning rate of FSD will increase with V12 being pure AI training? This could be quite the step change for FSD once v12 releases, and it could be quite the boon for TSLA if the training rate does increase drastically. It could mean TSLA feels the impact of a solved FSD sooner than most people believe.

It took what, 2 years+ to do roundabouts from "non zero% chance" comment from Elon to at least V10.69? Remember how terrible roundabouts were when FSDb was first streamed by youtubers? V12 went from not knowing the concept of driving to doing roundabouts. I feel like V12 has surpassed 5 years of FSDb performance in like 4 months(and remember they just got V12 online because occupancy network was developed recently which is required for V12 training).

With V12 being fully neural nets, now computing power becomes essential for a S curve of improvement in FSD.

Luckily it sounds like Dojo has gone live and Tesla has gotten a big order from Nvidia to help out.

While not exactly fun to think that they have to re-train for Hardware 4,0, the reality is that if Tesla's computer power combined with how neutral nets can exponentially learn faster than hard coding, we may see a re-write by the neural nets do what took Tesla's coders/engineers 2 years to do in the matter of 3-6 months. If that actually happens, then the computing knowledge of the neural nets is about to reach escape velocity.

Edit: What @Singuy just said.
 
Elon confirmed on the livestream @ 9:30 that FSD V12 with pure NN runs faster on HW3 than the C++ code + NNs and estimated to go up to 50fps (cameras are only capable of 36fps).

So where are the "experts" at on this now? 😝

He also confirmed that the "ADAS test operators" (Tesla job listing) all over the world are testing V12.


Remember that slogan, "I want my MTV"?

Well, I want my F - S - D !

Don't worry.. Elon will be giving us cheques* for free lol

"Watson, come here. I need you!"

This glitchy livestream is history in the making.

It's amazing watching this revolutionary transition to NN visual training as the most important industrialist of the 21st Century casually and humorously describes what's happening while giving viewers a look behind the curtain. And the fact that all of this will function when not tethered to the Internet is an astounding testament to the capabilities of Tesla AI and its coming applications.

Summary? Freaking BULLISH!!!

So, let me get this straight: In order to see anything on X, one has to have an X account?
Not "anything" but "some things", you can get to some content on Twitter URLs that don't work on an X url still and you can get to some types of content without logging in (like a single message) but not all content (like a full thread or this livestream).
