I'm curious where you get the number "38 petaflops" from.
In the same sense that your dog solves differential equations when he catches a Frisbee, I suppose.
Tesla sent out an email today. Autopilot Updates We just released the latest version of Autopilot. You can now experience Enhanced Autopilot features including Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer, Auto Lane Change, Parallel + Perpendicular Autopark, and Summon.

"All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." That claim is strong and false. What about Roadster and the old Model S with the old AP1 hardware?
What factory were they produced at?

"All Tesla vehicles have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." In the Model S configuration page, "enhanced autopilot" and "full self-driving capability" are still optional extras that together cost $8,000, so I'm not sure what they're talking about here. https://www.tesla.com/models/design
My understanding is that all new Tesla vehicles have all the necessary hardware, and the features are software-locked behind that $8,000 fee. Apparently, these features can also be unlocked at a future time, for a higher fee of $10,000.

> You can now experience Enhanced Autopilot features including Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer, Auto Lane Change, Parallel + Perpendicular Autopark, and Summon Scary stuff, really. No consumer wants (or needs) autopilot "features" - at least not from a marketing standpoint. If you ask me, the car either drives itself or you are driving it. It's a bit ridiculous to expect people to use these things safely. If…
There are moments when you have to think about what state the car is in. But in opinion it is by far offset by how much less tiring it is to drive a long way.

It's like saying we shouldn't have released seatbelts because people moght not have used them. Or maybe we shouldn't have released vaccines because you still need booster shots.
Safety features, even incremental ones, make the world safer for everyone.

I believe the claim is that all of their vehicles include the hardware required for these planned future features. They call attention to regulatory challenges, but gloss over the fact that many of these items aren't ready yet from a software perspective.
I think this is old, or at least deceptive advertisement. There are two packages for the model S which add up to $9k extra[0]: Enhanced Autopilot Full Self-Driving Capability The fact those are add-ons and their descriptions seems at odds with the statements made on the page. 0: https://www.tesla.com/models/design

You don't need 38 petaflops to drive a car. We are wasting our minds driving. Driving doesn't need creativity, it needs the 360 degrees of awareness without any lapse in concentration and the ability to react in milliseconds.
I would peg the human brain at closer to 1 flop. That's about how many floating point operations I can do in a second, and only very simple ones.
