Elon Musk says Tesla FSD version 11 should start rolling out later this week, next week at the latest. Tesla is starting to make use of neural nets for vehicle navigation & control, not just vision.

Expanding their use of neural networks only going to make things worse.
“Tesla is starting to make use of neural nets for vehicle navigation & control, not just vision.”:
What does that sentence *mean*? I honestly can’t parse it meaningfully.
It means going to data driven AI learning to improve the control and navigation instead of human programmers coding by hand. Potential for data driven learning to surpass human hand coding and rapidly improve once it is better.
It means that currently, once the AI system has processed the video, identified artifacts like signs, lanes, obstacles, etc., It hands that off to code that looks like a fancy version of if (x) then drive straight, else If (y) change lanes, else if (z) merge. They’ll replace that with another neural network that takes all the circumstancial and environment info, pumps that through a bunch of calculations based on thousand of previous similar situations, and uses that to figure out what to do next.
