How AI Powers Self-Driving Tesla with Elon Musk and Andrej Karpathy

A segment on the technology powering self-driving Teslas from Tesla's Autonomy Day 2019

I had to double-check that I wasn’t on 2X playback speed

[vermack]

The ability to source any type of examples from the fleet is amazing!

[kaleygoode]

Andrej sounds totally normal if you set playback speed to 0.75x...
His brain is running a third faster than most people!
NeuraLink is going to be interesting when communication is no longer the current slow speed speach...

That moment when Elon reminds Andrej about CS231 😅😅

There are some pretty big high-level takeaways here: using pure vision with a slight hint of radar, for now, to get lidar like accuracy in terms of depth perception. This is major.

That image of the fleet data on a map at 12:24 is absolutely stunning. I'm from Cyprus, and even though we don't have Tesla showrooms, superchargers or service centres I can see that Tesla is still collecting data from the cars which were imported here.

This is awesome!... I wish the Teslas have the aerial camera view by combining all 8 cams to show all around the car. Like BMW does on their cars

[peterprocopio]

What a great video on AI and neural networks. Amazing future. Tesla is well positioned to remain in the lead with autonomous vehicles because they have so many cars in the field gathering data and teaching its neural network. No one else is in the game.

very powerful hot dog/not hot dog technologies, thanks for sharing

14:56 to 15:55,
how long does the iterative run of the data
engine take to complete the cycle? Seconds?
Minutes? Days?
And how often is an update sent to the fleet?
Every day? Every week?
17:32,
all examples coming from the fleet will be
annotated, so are all the half million examples
annotated by hand by people?
And,
how long does it take to download an new
update to the car?

What did you use to query the fleet? How can you guarantee the search engine return all the correct result?

[nalinbranden]

Awesome presentation.
Question: when he says '"fleet" that means all the autopilot enables Tesla cars currently owned by public, or a dedicated fleet (purely for testing) of Teslas driven all around the world by a group of Tesla employees or contractors?

[justchary]

What an amazing presentation! Thank you

[smhninja]

Did I go slow or is this video sled up?

[tylerbradshaw]

Is this on fast forward for anyone else?

[XX-pqmb]

The future of communication speed of mankind is evolving into something that eventutally will sound like R2D2... Andrej is only the first phase of this

[X_platform]

Why use neural net to predict depth if you always already have the ground truth from Tesla’s sensor?

[TheKoekiemonster]

I like how elon chipped in when the guy got nervous. Great team!

[PierreH]

Lidar is bad with object densities, works badly in the heavy rain and cannot make the difference between an opaque plastic bag and a rock...

[Diarkia]

It's weird to think I've watched this guy before he got into neutral networks. Glad to see badmephisto is doing well
