Musk shared a lot of information with TED’s Chris Anderson, but unabashedly about his self-driving abilities

Elon Musk talked about a lot of things in his recent interview with TED’s Chris Anderson, but the one great thing he pointed out about Tesla was that its FSD beta software can now be operated by 100,000 people. Had been. They previously revealed in January that there were 60,000 users which is a massive jump of almost 2x in just 3 months. Musk reiterated that Tesla was on track to address the issue of full self-driving by the end of the year, thanks to the amount of training data through actual word usage.
Tesla began rolling out its FSD beta last year but it was fraught with issues. The FSD is Tesla’s successor to Autopilot which is largely classified as a Level 2 ADAS system, but Tesla has marketed it exaggeratedly which has led to many road accidents. Anderson asked Musk if an FSD would be safer than a human driving a car by the end of 2022, the world’s richest man replied, “Yeah, I mean, the car is currently driving me to Austin most of the time without interference. And we have over 100,000 people in our full self-driving beta program.”
Musk shared more details about how the development of the FSD caused technical problems. He revealed that whenever Tesla thought it had resolved one issue, another issue would emerge. “It goes up — you know — fairly straight. And then it starts to back up, and you start getting diminishing returns,” he said.
His remarks are on track with what Apple CEO Tim Cook has to say about full self-driving. He called it the mother of all AI problems. Apple is also working on a full self-driving car and the project has been in limbo for 7-8 years and is now led by John Giandria, head of AI.

Tesla, for its part, has taken an unconventional route toward solving the problem. In 2021, it removed all radars from its cars and began reengineering its systems to use cameras using computer vision techniques trained on neural nets built on its Dojo supercomputer. These algorithms run real-time thanks to its FSD chip, which was co-developed by renowned silicon engineer Jim Keller, who has helped develop processors on AMD, Intel, and even the iPhone.
