How do we know the hardware will adequately support full self-driving if it doesn't actually exist yet? That seems overly optimistic, if not an outright fabric

How do we know the hardware will adequately support full self-driving if it doesn't actually exist yet?
That seems overly optimistic, if not an outright fabrication.
- tomp 8y agoBecause humans can do driving with comparable (worse, actually) hardware. Superhuman reflexes mean that software with superhuman driving abilities can exist.
- mhermher 8y agoHumans also have human brains, which are much more important to driving than eyes.
- hacker11235 8y agoThis is the part that can be emulated in software. All you have to prove is that what ever platform/language you're using for the programming is Turing Complete, which is the case for almost all of the most popular languages.
- mhermher 8y agoSo can I run Crysis on my TI calculator? I'm sure whatever platform/language is running on it is Turing Complete. I think you missed the point that the brain is also hardware.
- hacker11235 8y agoGood point, I'm assuming their Nvidia GPUs have enough power/memory to do the processing they want to do.
