Elon Musk Previews The NEXT Version Of FSD

Hey everyone, it's Dylan Curious! In today's video, we dive deep into Tesla's revolutionary approach to full self-driving (FSD). Unbelievably, they slashed 300,000 lines of code, which you might think would hinder performance. But guess what? It's the opposite. With an end-to-end AI system, Tesla utilizes one mammoth neural network, transforming video input from cameras straight to steering and pedal controls. No more bottlenecks!

Elon Musk recently showcased this by driving to Mark Zuckerberg's residence. The car's behavior was more 'human-like,' demonstrating the power of relying solely on a neural network. Say goodbye to dedicated neural networks for tasks like red light detection.

The most enthralling part? Envision your Tesla joining a robo-taxi network or conversing with you like you do with ChatGPT! Think about asking, "Hey Tesla, what's your next move?" and getting a response like, "I'll proceed when the traffic light turns green."

I recently listened to David Lee's podcast, where James Dhamma, an AI connoisseur familiar with Tesla's operations, discussed this transformative upgrade. Just imagine, Tesla's previous approach involved patching camera feeds for a 3D representation. They even considered Nvidia's Nerf technology, which turns 2D images to 3D, but eventually found their camera setup adequate.

Another fascinating tidbit is the existence of two neural networks in the Teslas - the new end-to-end system and the original system which aids navigation. When these two converge, could they also merge with large language models like ChatGPT? Imagine your Tesla recognizing you, anticipating your destination based on your attire and time of day!

Speaking of real-life application, Elon demoed the FSD v12, illustrating how the car’s AI thinks. There’s no specific code telling it to clear the path for cyclists. It learns just like humans do. For instance, when the AI sees a stop sign, it doesn’t “read” it in our sense but recognizes it as a pattern to stop the vehicle. Elon even hinted at future features like directing the car to a pointed location. Mind-blowing, right?
