#2So much for no new hardware required for L5

#3This is pretty bad from a hardware/software verification perspective. People who care about correctness can just go home, I guess. It's amazing that we're gonna let these things on the streets. When you weigh almost 2 tons and can go >100mph, it doesn't matter if you have a gun mounted on you or not, you are a weapon.

#4> By having its own silicone
Will this mistake never go away?

Just wait until they admit that they need LIDAR too... Cha Ching! Various Autopilot accidents strongly imply that whatever the computer “brain” is doing doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have sufficient “eyes” to actually see things like a fire truck, cop car, or bollard.

#6The benefit they point out is 200fps vs. 2000fps, but is that actually that useful? In the post of OpenAO's robot, they said that improving the response times gave no significant gains.
Only thing I can imagine would be allowances for wider and deeper neural nets.

Does it matter if Tesla does the hardware swap on existing vehicles for free? Costs should not be high to do so if it’s their own silicon and the swap is done as part of regular maintenance at Tesla service centers.
The benefit of high margins and sophisticated engineering is you can get away with a lot of unknowns and promises.

It only has to perform better than a human.

does correctness even work with deep neural networks to begin with? especially with the existence of adversarial examples, out of domain situations, etc

Yes. It demonstrates that their claims have been complete BS.
