The company shared other things during its presentation on Friday. The director of autopilot took the stage to talk about how the software has improved. He said that the number of people using the software has increased from 2,000 to 160,000.
There have been 35 software releases in the past. In a Q&A at the end of the presentation, Musk made another prediction that the technology would be ready for a worldwide roll out by the end of this year, but acknowledged the regulatory and testing hurdles that remained before that happens.
The tech lead for Autopilot motion planning, Paril Jain, showed how the system can make "human-like" decisions. When a car makes a left turn into an intersection, it can choose a path that doesn't involve people crossing the street.
According to Phil Duan, the engineering manager atTesla, the company will start building and processing detailed 3D structures from the data it provides. The cars are making better decisions in fog, rain, and night.
The results of the company's artificial intelligence software are fed to customers' vehicles via over the air software updates. It processes video feeds from over one million camera-equipped vehicles on the road today and has a simulation built in Unreal Engine that is used to improve autopilot.
The automaker has a large data center that holds 30,000,000GB of stored footage, as well as a large GPUs-based computer. There is a new custom-built computer being worked on by the company and it uses chips designed by the company called Dojo, which the company says it can replace 72 GPU Racks with.
The first chip and training tiles were revealed at last year'sai day. The first Exa Pod is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year. There will be seven new buildings in Palo Alto. In a 10-cabinet system, the Dojo Exa Pod would be able to break the barrier of the ExaFlop of compute, with 1.3 terabytes of high-speed memory and 13 terabytes of high-bandwidth memory.
Since last year's Artificial Intelligence day, the company has installed the first Dojo cabinet, tested 2.2 watt of load testing, and is currently working at a build rate of one tile per day. This image was created using a prompt of "Cybertruck on Mars" and 25 Dojo dies.
The autopilot feature is standard on all of the cars from the company. For an additional $15,000, owners can buy the Full Self-Driving option, which Musk has repeatedly promised will one day deliver fully autonomously driven vehicles to them. The driver must stay fully engaged in the vehicle's operation while in motion in order for the system to remain a Level 2 advanced driver-assistance system.
The partially automated driver assist system on city streets and local roads can be accessed by users of the free service.
There have been reports of safety issues with the company. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating 16 crashes in which the owners of the cars crashed into emergency vehicles. The government upgraded its investigation earlier this year, meaning that there is a chance of a recall.
Customers have sued the company for misleading them about the capabilities of their vehicles. It's important to Musk's vision of a fully self-sufficient future. Musk has largely avoided any serious consequences so far in his attempts to obscure the limitations of his technology.
