The electric sedan chauffeured the two on Palo Alto’s tree-lined streets on a sunny day during rush hour, around the brand’s engineering headquarters.works like a human brain, using neural nets and eyes , said Musk. There’s no line of code instructing the vehicle to slow down for speed bumps, to give clearance to cyclists, or to stop at a stop sign, he added.
You definitely need a lot of training data to make it work. You need millions of dollars or training hardware. And you need to run the neural net training hardware. It’s not easy. The mind-blowing thing is that there’s no line of code. There is no line of code that says there is a roundabout, which is what we have in the explicit control stack in version 11. There are over 300,000 lines of C++ in version 11, and there’s basically none of that in version 12.
