Q: "What's the primary design objective of the next-gen chip?"
Mumbled Answer: "Safety."
...doesn't that mean the current-gen chip... isn't as safe as you want?

#52The thing I don't get about Tesla is why they keep heaping more on their plate rather than just (for large values of just) re-doing the motive power bit. That alone is a massive challenge and it is not something they've licked at economies of scale that allow a $10K vehicle to be brought to market, which is what it will take to really make this a success. Every extra they tack on to the base product is one they will…
I think it's related to who Musk is, and the kinds of things he wants to achieve.
SpaceX isn't trying to just do what has always been done and just make it 5 or 10% cheaper. That's boring. SpaceX is completely turning the launch industry on it's head.
Tesla is the same. Elon isn't interested in making "just" an electric car. He wants to change the world, and electric cars that drive themselves will do that.
Can he do it soon? I'm not an expert, I don't know. But damn it's exciting to watch.

#55is anyone knowledgeable with how this compares to Waymo's solutions? I'm curious.

#56Feels like they're just throwing a bunch of hardware specs at investors to distract from any discussions about the current state of the software beyond "just need to improve it now".

Are any cars ever as safe as you want?
Re: Tesla Live Stream – Autonomy Day [video]
#58It seems like Tesla is at a pivotal moment. On one hand there are hyper-bulls who claim Tesla is a $4000 stock and the future of transportation. On the other, hyper-bears claim the equity should trade around $0-$10. There seems to be no middle ground. It seems like they are almost betting the company on FSD. I don’t think FSD is really even close to a possibility over the next 5-10yrs. I hope I’m wrong, but if I’m ri…

Well, other than actual investors.

I don't see this line of reasoning. To me "safer than humans" or "in the 90th percentile among drivers" is a fair go to market line.
Optimally safe should still be the goal. That is, no human could have provided alternative input to the computer that would have created a safer outcome.

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you’ve listened to their earnings calls this is par for the course. Say what you will about his tweets, but I find these discussions fantastically informative and transparent.
absolutely glorious, they're taking questions. first question: can you use anything else besides ReLU activations in your neural net engine? this is wonderful
...is it?
I don't know the context here but it feels like they're trying to ML-splain Karpathy?
