15:05 He's talking about scaling "laws" not "loss". These are often used by scientists to relate the manner in which one quantity grows as another changes. The simplest scaling law might be that the volume of a sphere grows as the cube of its radius. Here, they are talking about how FSD improves with compute time and dataset size.
I have 12.3. It is a whole nother level. We use it 95% of the time. No exaggeration. The only time i have to take over is at the destination. Thanks Elon Bob
The GPS needs to be more precise. Also sometimes it goes to the address of a location not the parking lot...that was my experience doing the demo. But it was good enough that I am probably getting a tesla JUST for FSD.
The 12.3 update was the most notable shift in FSD since I've owned my car. Where I used to be on edge when the car was driving before because it would randomly do weird shit sometimes, it's been pretty flawless so far and I've tested it in rush hour traffic in Denver. This makes a huge difference in the utility because now I feel like like I can relax and let the car do its thing. Really excited to get 12.4 and 12.5
Telsa should have a discount for FSD for Tesla using an owner's car for compute, as it would be costing the owner electricity. Would be a good incentive.
please cut together a video where you are following a Waymo for miles. The critics are always comparing Tesla to other AVs and saying lidar, radar, etc. A "side by side" would showcase it's not necessary.
@@hankkingsley9183 I was literally in the 1st wave for FSD and was a beta test member for Waymo. I’ve seen them both improve. Given the same geofence constraints, Teslas just can’t comprehend certain signs or lane types. It also drives like a grandpa on the most aggressive setting. It also makes stupid lane change decisions. Obviously these will all improve over time. Waymo driving is basically superhuman compared to the “human-like” Tesla driving. Tesla also suffers with any ounce of rain.
I can't deny that each version is a step forward, and when I compare to where we were in the very early limited beta when I got in, it is almost jaw dropping. That said, I really feel like each version is two steps forward, maybe even two leaps forward, but with a step back. Ever since v12 came out for example, speed control has been atrocious. Lane selection is a lot better, but I frequently find ego being stupid about how it changes lanes and sometimes it just leaves me sitting across two lanes! I'm also still really concerned that they are overfitting to certain areas. I often see videos like these here and others on YT where it does amazingly well, then I go out in my local area and rarely can I go even one drive without having to intervene or disengage. It STILL can't handle roundabouts properly. I swear whoever trained it is one of the 80% of Americans that does not know how to legally drive a two-lane roundabout in the US? (Hint it is NOT the same as most other countries) and v12 refuses to properly slow down when the speed limit drops, unlike previous versions. Also still doesn't recognize school zones which seems like a huge omission for a version that is being pushed more to the public with the free trial and reduced monthly cost. I live in a community with a lot of Teslas - 6 just on my block! - and I've had more than one neighbor tell me how they had to take over in the school zone and they weren't expecting that. Me personally, I just hate how it handles intersections. I get that its better to start cautious, but really it is so careful and so slow in intersections that it drives me and passengers nuts. I frequently get honked at for being so slow. Overall I feel Tesla has a rather solid base and needs to spend some time focusing on important problem areas. Things that are causing disengagements, like speed control, lane drifting (yes that's back) lane straddling, and driving situations like round abouts that it can't handle properly should be the focus.
Ehh, I feel like unless more than half the driving population is autonomous it will still be just as dangerous... And honestly I do NOT want to live in an I, Robot esque future where I cannot drive my own vehicle.
@@Plague_Rat778the data that shows it’s less dangerous is based on real world data, which is going to be situations where autonomous cars are interacting with human drivers the vast majority of the time. So it’s less dangerous already in the context you mentioned.
Yeah I’ve got a coffee bet with Yaman that by the end of the year we’ll hear the early steps of Ford Licensing FSD haha. I share your excitement. I’ve officially crossed over 100 actual customer rides on v12.3.4 and it’s at 85% success currently.

Just bought model Y , Using FSD as much as I can , the Tesla map got the speed limit wrong in so many places , also while making wide turns it crossing the yellow marks . It still struggling in Unmarked surfaces.

Already fsd is awesome. It can do 95+% of my drive without any issue anywhere. It’s even caught some turns that I thought were wrong until I passed it. I just wish they would reduce the nag already.

@@hankkingsley9183 I mean ideally ya'll would fix your public transport network, shared steel on steel beats even EVs by a landslide, but I suppose that's not the American way so high tech it is.
I’ve only ever experienced FSD during this free month. I’m optimistic it will get better but I wouldn’t think of paying for it until it does. I didn’t realize how much I subconsciously avoid potholes, manhole covers, etc. until my car was hitting them constantly. Also there needs to be a way to just completely switch off lane changes that aren’t needed for navigation. I really got sick of trying to figure out why my car was actively trying to get in the wrong lane when nearing a turn. Also if I have it in “chill”, that means I don’t want it tailgating the car in front of me(something that would reduce my driver score if I was driving). I’m sure there are plenty of other nitpicky things i’m already forgetting but I wasn’t as impressed using it as I was watching your videos.
Problem with Tesla’s thesis: It’s also obvious to everyone who’s tried v12 that the camera placement, camera quality and weather conditions will stop the dream from becoming reality anytime soon. It’s frustrating that Elon/Tesla seem to keep their head in the sand rather than fix the obvious shortcomings. I think they could be the ones to dominate but they refuse to admit the emperor has no clothes
So you mean that several cameras (with different possible UV filters) that are constantly analyzed in parallel have less insight than a person who can only observe one direction at a time?
Funny how Elon says, “Understand it shouldn’t hit things no matter where the car is…” YEAHHH SUREEE, what about all the FSD12 Wheels that have been curbed??? What about that ELAN???
In future, could you please post the FSD version in your Shorts, because I have to look at how old the comments are to make a judgement in how old the upload is.
You’ve cherry picked the important parts of the that podcast perfectly for me. 35,000 H100s…. And climbing rapidly, Wowzer… AWS, autonomy that can easily scale to any first world environment, and licensing fixes the monopoly issue. That’s one very different ‘Car manufacturer’, and deserves to be treated as a tech / AI company / computer services co. Bravo Tesla
For robo taxis, hygiene is a concern for me. Should add digital noses to detect funky smells. They should also add weight scales, to make sure that the car weighs the same as it did before the previous passenger wrote it as it does when I pick up my robo taxi.
Easy to install internal detection cameras, and post ride smell rating. The car will be autosent to be cleaned if detected to be dirty. The big concern is privacy, or complete lack of privacy rather hahaha
@@imthinkingthoughts yeah I privacy I would probably be okay getting up if it were a taxi A amount of fartiness indicator would be nice though when choosing an unoccupied taxi. Looking forward to our future of choosing how much fart I'm willing to suffer for what surge price. 🙂
Apart from obvious differences between countries, such as road signs, left or right hand driving, roundabouts, there are also almost unwritten rules. For example in the UK we 'create' extra lanes even in small roads to let emergency vehicles through or flash our lights to tell others we are giving way to them. So will FSD have to be trained separately for each country to pick up on these? If travelling from the UK to the continent will FSD drive like a Brit, then switch to driving like a Frenchman or an Italian within those countries?
When I heard Elon say "half the accident rate" during the call ... that led me to believe that they have the numbers now to potentially show regulators on 8/8 that FSD is statistically 2x safer than human drivers on a statistical basis. If they can collect several billion more miles between now and August and/or get that number even higher - it's very compelling to go to a state or city (my guess is the first will be Austin, TX) and ask for L3 robotaxi approvals.
AI DRIVR, these captions are very, very bad. Please use text captions so you can fix them later. If you insist on burning the captions into the video that will be impossible to fix after the fact, at least spend the time to read them back and make sure they make sense before you render.
As far as taxi service goes I wonder if say you are out with friends and they decided to go somewhere and you're not up to it can you summon your car from home and have it pick you up?
Many thanks for this huge work ! You know, a few month ago I was very positive about FSD for EU market because regulatories were on the way but a recent bad news was giving me more negative feeling: Tesla should not answer to some requested EU rules ... I hope that it will go because it's currently so frustrating to have bought FSD a year ago without the paid service. So the car cannot be sell at the right price and I think that the law should allow reimbursment because service is not there anymore. I know it's not Tesla fault but Tesla sell something that does not exists.
Just imagine if Tesla were to add Robotaxi to their existing app on Aug. 8th to give Uber a run for their money! With Tesla Insurance and a ride share function added, it would allow any Tesla owner to participate in the Robotaxi adventure! How is that for a new advertising plan? Just like the Uber phone app, people would add the Tesla app to their phone which would absolutely raise the user's awareness of the Tesla brand. That would actually be the Final Piece to the Robotaxi Puzzle!
Giving everyone a free month of FSD was smart. Tesla should implement that free month trial every time they are gonna need more miles on FSD. Lot of miles, lot of data!
I wouldn't be surprised if they were in talks with Daimler. It seems Daimler has pretty much halted their self-driving development after they made something that was licensed to drive you through a traffic jam at up to 60 km/h but only in daylight and good weather (but true level 3 - you were allowed to play on your phone while the car was driving). Except for the licensing, that's something Autopilot could do 5 years ago!
Why would I want Tesla to use my car's computer for distributed compute? Tesla get free compute, but what do I get besides a higher electric bill and more battery degradation?
Well they would “monetize” so they would pay you..if you choose to join the distributed compute program. If they do it by offering an equivalent level of free supercharging….you could see how they could easily implement this.
@@niglub1 Here's how I predict it will go: You allow them to use your CPU and they don't charge you a higher rate for stuff like FSD, cellular network, back seat heater subscription, etc.
@@GerardPinzone Lagard's will insist on having a bum scratcher incorporated. Especially with kids; daddy I'm too cold - no problem; daddy I'm too hot - no problem. When my kid said to me, daddy I've got an itchy bottom I couldn't find a button for that!
@@hankkingsley9183 Yeah, it was really miserable for humans when the agrarian revolution meant that instead of most humans having to toil on the land all year round just to feed themselves and their families, we now have less than 1% of the population involved in food production. And of course the industrial revolution with the advent of steam power, trains, electricity, modern sanitation and automobiles made life so much more miserable!!? I don't think so.
When are they going to solve the night driving issue? FSD refuses to activate at night outside of a city because it's too dark and the cameras think they're blocked. Has been a problem for years and just like the auto wipers, I doubt they have a software based solution for existing cars...
@@furryrug5998 If eyes work cameras should be able to. And it seems VERY likely that the cameras are going to be as capable as eyes. But even if Waymo always stayed a step ahead on its very specific set of roads, it can’t be scaled. Like literally cannot. It costs ungodly amounts money for them to add a few extra miles of roads in a new city. Their maps are incredibly intensive to create, costly to store, and high maintenance to keep up to date with their ultra-precision. If Waymo auto-drive dev staff took a couple months off, their cars would stop working on the very small set of roads it work on now. It is a very, very brittle system that requires constant upkeep. FSD is the opposite approach. A completely generalized approach, not just in location, but across different changing scenarios. If Tesla FSD dev staff took a year or two off every Tesla would keep working just as well. Basically forever. That’s what’s not scalable. The more cities Waymo adds, the more it costs them. It’s the opposite for Tesla. All that said, Waymo’s approach might be the best bet in a downtown core. Certainly it is now (for the ultra small set of towns). But will it be the best approach in a year? Two? I’m not betting it will be. We haven’t seen anything close to the technical limits of the FSD hardware, or the Neural Net tech stack. And seeing how massively v12 improved things (which was basically v1 of a MAJOR part of FSD, the one responsible for all the improvement over v11), I’m more optimistic than ever about its capability limits. I still don’t think people are going to want to clean up after strangers using their cars as robotaxis. Uber drivers spend a ton of time dealing with the effects of people who are sitting two feet from the driver. I can’t imagine how awful people will be when there’s nobody there.
Bad weather is a relevant factor. I think Teslas goal is to improve bad weather performance to a similar level as what humans are able to achieve. (Superhuman driving in zero visibility…would be a different level for sure). But one step at a time. Akin to how humans function-later after learning the basic task you can layer on extra sensors. Like a soldier putting on night vision or infrared scopes.
Or just like pilots are able to fly when not able to see using instrument landing system (ILS and related tech). But when a pilot just starts flying they don’t do an ILS landing first….that is a select group who are trained to do that. But benefits us all. Tesla can layer on that type of functioning once we learn the basics. Just like any other learning task.
I love how people cite that Mercedes has level 3 driving except it only works on very VERY few Mercedes approved roads and some highways in like 2 states…
I do agree that they should use idle compute time in cars and offer it as a service, BUT if they do then like Robotaxis, the owner should have the ability to add or remove the vehicle from the system and get paid for those times.
I made the mistake of downloading update 2024.8.9, which is stuck on v11.4.9. I'm dying for FSD to get caught up to my main software build so I can try v12.
Could you please send me the script of the conference or put it in the description please🙏🏻. I'm doing a university project about Tesla and its revenues. I will also analyse the future of Tesla (as it is the main factor for future revenues) and it would help a lot. Thank you🙏🏻
The distributed compute thing is kinda strange. If you buy a computer, the OEM doesn't get to run a workload on your machine. I get the business evaluation of it, but if I had a Tesla I would not want my car doing anything when not in use. Maybe if it was converted into some sort of energy credits for their chargers, or some other form of equal exchange.
Why wouldn't you want your car doing anything when not in use? It's a waste of capital investment. That's why airlines try to maximise the number of hours their planes are flying, because they are expensive pieces of kit that shouldn't be sitting idle. And yes, you would get paid for allowing your car to bee used for compute, otherwise there is no incentive for the consumer. I think Elon understands incentives.
@@gdok6088 They made no mention of that in the call, so wasn't sure about whether there was an incentive program. Obviously no one would want a company they bought a product from using their electricity if they weren't getting >= amount of the expenses returned.
I don't know why but i think Jaguar makes a good chance of being the brand that is in talks about FSD. Why? Because at this point the brand is in big trouble but... they will launch their electric exclusive (high end) line up next year. If (notice: IF) they want to make a shot in surviving as a (luxury) brand, it would be wise to take a big leap forward and not just presenting electric cars, but full self driving electric cars... And as stated: nobody really knows what their are brewing....
6:21 "...in the future, gasoline cars that are not autonomous will be like riding a horse and using a flip phone..." I wonder if this could mean he is considering allowing Ford to license the tech in their gas cars (obviously not for cybercab/robotaxi but rather for safe individual use and with an agreement to phase out gasoline). Wow, am I the only one hearing this? That would certainly save Fords ass.
I just wonder how they navigate the charging aspect of this. Obviously if someone is wanting to rent out there car but they’re away, or they’re at work, keeping the car charged is going to be an issue and I doubt Tesla would pin that on the user of the service. They may need a service attendant at supercharging stations just plugging in the cars and unplugging them lol.
If Tesla signed an agreement with OEMs today it would most likely be more than 3 years unless they really pushed hard and fast. Most auto companies are working on like 5-10 year timelines with this kind of tech. Even the basic things is 3-5 years and that's for stuff that is humdrum run of the mill.
I'm still confused why Tesla didn't elect to go for LIDAR besides the fact it's expensive. Having it utilized to avoid potholes and other obstacles would be great for mitigating "tires popped by SFSD".
@@nettlesoup Not that I avoid all potholes, but if I see a pothole in the distance while driving, I'll do my best to avoid it. If it's really bad, a mental note to avoid that lane in the future.
By the end of 2025 or early 2026. Hell, it could probably happen now tbh, Interstates are some of the easiest and least problematic roads to drive on, and it'd barely need to use city streets.

I think they could be the ones to dominate but they refuse to admit the emperor has no clothes
So you mean that several cameras (with different possible UV filters) that are constantly analyzed in parallel have less insight than a person who can only observe one direction at a time?
It needs some means to clean ALL the camera lenses, as well. Getting tired of fsd beeping at me every time it rains.
Thx for the video after it I bought 15x Tesla stock 😅
Funny how Elon says, “Understand it shouldn’t hit things no matter where the car is…” YEAHHH SUREEE, what about all the FSD12 Wheels that have been curbed??? What about that ELAN???
Thanks for the videos I appreciate the editing work!
16:58 it's cathy wood and not kathy wood. just btw.
thank you for this video. love ur content
Thanks for the correction!
10's of millions of robotaxi's are going to need automated human-less charging
FSD will probably be the first big thing we see coming from AI that will change the world significantly in a meaningful way.
In future, could you please post the FSD version in your Shorts, because I have to look at how old the comments are to make a judgement in how old the upload is.
You’ve cherry picked the important parts of the that podcast perfectly for me.
35,000 H100s…. And climbing rapidly, Wowzer… AWS, autonomy that can easily scale to any first world environment, and licensing fixes the monopoly issue.
That’s one very different ‘Car manufacturer’, and deserves to be treated as a tech / AI company / computer services co.
Bravo Tesla
Confused about the AWS part.... what inference would they be running on the idle cars? Inference for what?
Listen again. They gave examples of what.
@@michelangelobuonarroti916not helpful dude. You could have provided some examples but chose to be condescending.

Folding@home in your car
For robo taxis, hygiene is a concern for me.
Should add digital noses to detect funky smells. They should also add weight scales, to make sure that the car weighs the same as it did before the previous passenger wrote it as it does when I pick up my robo taxi.
Easy to install internal detection cameras, and post ride smell rating. The car will be autosent to be cleaned if detected to be dirty. The big concern is privacy, or complete lack of privacy rather hahaha
@@imthinkingthoughts yeah I privacy I would probably be okay getting up if it were a taxi
A amount of fartiness indicator would be nice though when choosing an unoccupied taxi.
Looking forward to our future of choosing how much fart I'm willing to suffer for what surge price. 🙂
Apart from obvious differences between countries, such as road signs, left or right hand driving, roundabouts, there are also almost unwritten rules. For example in the UK we 'create' extra lanes even in small roads to let emergency vehicles through or flash our lights to tell others we are giving way to them. So will FSD have to be trained separately for each country to pick up on these? If travelling from the UK to the continent will FSD drive like a Brit, then switch to driving like a Frenchman or an Italian within those countries?
They could probably give fsd geo profiles so it changes style based on the country
It's only going to get better and it's already bloody great
It’s happening!
Dude,
Love your videos. Keep them coming...❤❤❤
Do you think v13 will be e2e for highway too or it could be in v12.x ?
When I heard Elon say "half the accident rate" during the call ... that led me to believe that they have the numbers now to potentially show regulators on 8/8 that FSD is statistically 2x safer than human drivers on a statistical basis. If they can collect several billion more miles between now and August and/or get that number even higher - it's very compelling to go to a state or city (my guess is the first will be Austin, TX) and ask for L3 robotaxi approvals.
thank you for the subtitles 3:45 did you use an AI tool to generate the subtitles automagically, like on Adobe Premier?
Yes, I then corrected many of them and somehow undid all my corrections and didn’t notice until after releasing and getting comments about it lol
@@AIDRIVR thank you for your hard work!
@AIDRIVR That must have been so frustrating that your corrections were lost! Nevertheless, thanks for getting this out to us!
Subtitles are awesome!
AI DRIVR, these captions are very, very bad. Please use text captions so you can fix them later. If you insist on burning the captions into the video that will be impossible to fix after the fact, at least spend the time to read them back and make sure they make sense before you render.
As far as taxi service goes I wonder if say you are out with friends and they decided to go somewhere and you're not up to it can you summon your car from home and have it pick you up?
Yeah you could!
Many thanks for this huge work ! You know, a few month ago I was very positive about FSD for EU market because regulatories were on the way but a recent bad news was giving me more negative feeling: Tesla should not answer to some requested EU rules ... I hope that it will go because it's currently so frustrating to have bought FSD a year ago without the paid service. So the car cannot be sell at the right price and I think that the law should allow reimbursment because service is not there anymore. I know it's not Tesla fault but Tesla sell something that does not exists.
Just imagine if Tesla were to add Robotaxi to their existing app on Aug. 8th to give Uber a run for their money! With Tesla Insurance and a ride share function added, it would allow any Tesla owner to participate in the Robotaxi adventure! How is that for a new advertising plan? Just like the Uber phone app, people would add the Tesla app to their phone which would absolutely raise the user's awareness of the Tesla brand. That would actually be the Final Piece to the Robotaxi Puzzle!
Giving everyone a free month of FSD was smart. Tesla should implement that free month trial every time they are gonna need more miles on FSD. Lot of miles, lot of data!
Thank you so much! Highly appreciated
thank you for watching!
How are you doing the FSD capture and overlapping?
Will the Robo-Taxi have a panic button for passengers when FSD gets itself into a jam?
Yes
I wouldn't be surprised if they were in talks with Daimler. It seems Daimler has pretty much halted their self-driving development after they made something that was licensed to drive you through a traffic jam at up to 60 km/h but only in daylight and good weather (but true level 3 - you were allowed to play on your phone while the car was driving). Except for the licensing, that's something Autopilot could do 5 years ago!
Why would I want Tesla to use my car's computer for distributed compute? Tesla get free compute, but what do I get besides a higher electric bill and more battery degradation?
Well they would “monetize” so they would pay you..if you choose to join the distributed compute program. If they do it by offering an equivalent level of free supercharging….you could see how they could easily implement this.
@@niglub1 Here's how I predict it will go: You allow them to use your CPU and they don't charge you a higher rate for stuff like FSD, cellular network, back seat heater subscription, etc.
@@GerardPinzone Lagard's will insist on having a bum scratcher incorporated. Especially with kids; daddy I'm too cold - no problem; daddy I'm too hot - no problem. When my kid said to me, daddy I've got an itchy bottom I couldn't find a button for that!
"I don't know a time when Tesla released something that didn't look just like the prototype."
Like the model X you mean? 😂😂😂
Model X looks exactly like the prototype, minus the fake black grill in front like the old Model S had. They removed that
future is very exciting
For whom? It actually may be quite miserable for human beings if the advent of AGI happens
@@hankkingsley9183why is that relevant to FSD? FSD seems an overwhelmingly positive product of AI.
@@hankkingsley9183 Yeah, it was really miserable for humans when the agrarian revolution meant that instead of most humans having to toil on the land all year round just to feed themselves and their families, we now have less than 1% of the population involved in food production. And of course the industrial revolution with the advent of steam power, trains, electricity, modern sanitation and automobiles made life so much more miserable!!? I don't think so.
I really hope that the car owners will be compensated for that compute power their cars are providing for Tesla.
Incredible - thanks for this cut! Was very helpful :)
When are they going to solve the night driving issue? FSD refuses to activate at night outside of a city because it's too dark and the cameras think they're blocked. Has been a problem for years and just like the auto wipers, I doubt they have a software based solution for existing cars...
If you've ever tried a Waymo they work quite well. Tesla will get there - its only a matter of time.
The point is that Tesla can get there, and to the 99.999% of roads Waymo can never be scaled to do.
@@CraigTemple what about disengagement in bad weather etc?
Waymo has redundancy via different sensor arrays
@@furryrug5998 If eyes work cameras should be able to. And it seems VERY likely that the cameras are going to be as capable as eyes.
But even if Waymo always stayed a step ahead on its very specific set of roads, it can’t be scaled. Like literally cannot. It costs ungodly amounts money for them to add a few extra miles of roads in a new city. Their maps are incredibly intensive to create, costly to store, and high maintenance to keep up to date with their ultra-precision.
If Waymo auto-drive dev staff took a couple months off, their cars would stop working on the very small set of roads it work on now. It is a very, very brittle system that requires constant upkeep.
FSD is the opposite approach. A completely generalized approach, not just in location, but across different changing scenarios.
If Tesla FSD dev staff took a year or two off every Tesla would keep working just as well. Basically forever.
That’s what’s not scalable. The more cities Waymo adds, the more it costs them. It’s the opposite for Tesla.
All that said, Waymo’s approach might be the best bet in a downtown core. Certainly it is now (for the ultra small set of towns).
But will it be the best approach in a year? Two?
I’m not betting it will be.
We haven’t seen anything close to the technical limits of the FSD hardware, or the Neural Net tech stack. And seeing how massively v12 improved things (which was basically v1 of a MAJOR part of FSD, the one responsible for all the improvement over v11), I’m more optimistic than ever about its capability limits.
I still don’t think people are going to want to clean up after strangers using their cars as robotaxis. Uber drivers spend a ton of time dealing with the effects of people who are sitting two feet from the driver. I can’t imagine how awful people will be when there’s nobody there.
Bad weather is a relevant factor. I think Teslas goal is to improve bad weather performance to a similar level as what humans are able to achieve. (Superhuman driving in zero visibility…would be a different level for sure). But one step at a time. Akin to how humans function-later after learning the basic task you can layer on extra sensors. Like a soldier putting on night vision or infrared scopes.
Or just like pilots are able to fly when not able to see using instrument landing system (ILS and related tech). But when a pilot just starts flying they don’t do an ILS landing first….that is a select group who are trained to do that. But benefits us all. Tesla can layer on that type of functioning once we learn the basics. Just like any other learning task.
I love how people cite that Mercedes has level 3 driving except it only works on very VERY few Mercedes approved roads and some highways in like 2 states…
I would love to see a Knight Rider edition of Tesla with voice control and all in a couple of years. Would be insane and funny
I do agree that they should use idle compute time in cars and offer it as a service, BUT if they do then like Robotaxis, the owner should have the ability to add or remove the vehicle from the system and get paid for those times.
I made the mistake of downloading update 2024.8.9, which is stuck on v11.4.9. I'm dying for FSD to get caught up to my main software build so I can try v12.
Could you please send me the script of the conference or put it in the description please🙏🏻. I'm doing a university project about Tesla and its revenues. I will also analyse the future of Tesla (as it is the main factor for future revenues) and it would help a lot. Thank you🙏🏻
I agree, Ford is the most likely to license FSD. I think the deal will be Ford gets the insurance opportunity and the data is shared.
The distributed compute thing is kinda strange. If you buy a computer, the OEM doesn't get to run a workload on your machine. I get the business evaluation of it, but if I had a Tesla I would not want my car doing anything when not in use. Maybe if it was converted into some sort of energy credits for their chargers, or some other form of equal exchange.
Why wouldn't you want your car doing anything when not in use? It's a waste of capital investment. That's why airlines try to maximise the number of hours their planes are flying, because they are expensive pieces of kit that shouldn't be sitting idle. And yes, you would get paid for allowing your car to bee used for compute, otherwise there is no incentive for the consumer. I think Elon understands incentives.
@@gdok6088 They made no mention of that in the call, so wasn't sure about whether there was an incentive program. Obviously no one would want a company they bought a product from using their electricity if they weren't getting >= amount of the expenses returned.
I like the idea of it and hopefully it will be an opt-in setting
I don't know why but i think Jaguar makes a good chance of being the brand that is in talks about FSD. Why? Because at this point the brand is in big trouble but... they will launch their electric exclusive (high end) line up next year. If (notice: IF) they want to make a shot in surviving as a (luxury) brand, it would be wise to take a big leap forward and not just presenting electric cars, but full self driving electric cars... And as stated: nobody really knows what their are brewing....
6:21 "...in the future, gasoline cars that are not autonomous will be like riding a horse and using a flip phone..." I wonder if this could mean he is considering allowing Ford to license the tech in their gas cars (obviously not for cybercab/robotaxi but rather for safe individual use and with an agreement to phase out gasoline). Wow, am I the only one hearing this? That would certainly save Fords ass.
Did I hear "hoard", as in 2nd mortgage triple down on TSLA? 3:10
There's a button on the bottom called 'cc', tried pressing it?
Did you have any experience with FSD and mirrors on narrow sharp corners or some interesections? Does it know how to use those?
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Did you notice that he gave away the battery size for the new models (50-60 kilowatt hours of compute) at the 28:41 mark of the video
elons just doing damage control
5 Years later. Still waiting. Apparently just around the corner. Meanwhile I can't even get TACC to work properly due to the garbage maps Tesla uses.
Needs more training on the roads in Napa and Yountville California, but still very impressive.
I just wonder how they navigate the charging aspect of this. Obviously if someone is wanting to rent out there car but they’re away, or they’re at work, keeping the car charged is going to be an issue and I doubt Tesla would pin that on the user of the service. They may need a service attendant at supercharging stations just plugging in the cars and unplugging them lol.
If Tesla signed an agreement with OEMs today it would most likely be more than 3 years unless they really pushed hard and fast. Most auto companies are working on like 5-10 year timelines with this kind of tech. Even the basic things is 3-5 years and that's for stuff that is humdrum run of the mill.
I'm still confused why Tesla didn't elect to go for LIDAR besides the fact it's expensive. Having it utilized to avoid potholes and other obstacles would be great for mitigating "tires popped by SFSD".
How do you avoid potholes and other obstacles with only your (presumably) two human eyes?
@@nettlesoup I guess he didn't cheap out and has a LIDAR Scanner bolted on top of his head.
@@nettlesoup Not that I avoid all potholes, but if I see a pothole in the distance while driving, I'll do my best to avoid it. If it's really bad, a mental note to avoid that lane in the future.
@@gdok6088 That'd be dope!
When do you think the first coast to cost unsupervised FSD journey will happen?
Was meant to happen in 2017…
Before xmas 2024 ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🎅👍🎄
By the end of 2025 or early 2026. Hell, it could probably happen now tbh, Interstates are some of the easiest and least problematic roads to drive on, and it'd barely need to use city streets.
@@computertutorials1286 what about bad weather?
@@furryrug5998 Depends on exactly how it is. Personally I think actual Level 5 is at least 5 years away, but you only need L4 to have a robotaxi.
