- Autopilot has made progress in avoiding crashes into parked cars
- Work on braking for red lights and stop signs after highway exits, and maybe making right turns, will reportedly start next year
- Tesla is using simulation and making HD maps
- Tesla is using a neural network for prediction of vehicle/pedestrian/cyclist behaviour
- Sadly unclear from the article whether path planning uses a neural network
- The Autopilot team has 200 people and Karpathy's AI team has 35 people
- The hardware team is designing a new radar (no details beyond that)
- Some stuff about "behaviour cloning" that wasn't exactly clear and sounded like it might have gotten lost in translation
- A lot of flavour and slice of life stuff
