Musk moves Tesla “Autopilot” and “FSD” quality level and delivery date bars yet again
Once again Elon Musk has moved the bars. This time downgrading both the date and quality level. We now have L4 in 2022.
Of course, that’s not only impossible for 2022, but it is also impossible for all time (This also applies to the industry as do the first two items below)
· General and Deep Learning are nowhere near where they need to be for the complexity of this domain
· One cannot rely on human Guinea pigs, the real-world and gaming-based simulation technology for most development and testing
· The camera sensor system is reckless and incompetent
