Fair enough. I just tried to do a diff between the versions:
Current implementation [0]
* Camera module in the front
* Front-facing Radar
* 12 ultrasonic sensors
New implementation:
* 8 surround cameras
* Front-facing radar
* 12 ultrasonic sensors (updated)

So the difference is basically just a few extra cameras and updates to the sensors. It doesn't seem like a huge step or completely new platform - at least when looking at the components.
- marricks 10y agoWhat about the 40x faster processor with neural nets thrown in there somewhere? There's a bit more than just new cameras/sensors.
- forgetsusername 10y ago>neural nets thrown in there somewhere? What techniques were they using to process the data before? Surely it was statistical learning. And if they weren't, their competitors certainly were.
- bryanlarsen 10y agoFor version 8 of their software, the camera is now the primary sensor. And that's where the biggest hardware difference between the models is.
