Other companies have made over-optimistic predictions but not on the same scale and with the same frequency. Tesla is ahead of them on the "bringing to market" part but not on the autonomy part, where they're not really working on the same level of difficulty problems as the ones trying for L4.
- jfoster 6y agoTesla are aiming for full self driving, aren't they? If they have managed to find a simpler problem set that will still allow them to reach that outcome and release incrementally, isn't that a smarter approach?
- sidibe 6y agoI think that releasing a product is still completely orthogonal to building an autonomous vehicle at this point, so it's maybe a smarter approach for their bottom line but doesn't get them to autonomy any faster. I think to accept that delivering incrementally is helpful for making an L4 car you have to believe that having more data is the bottleneck, which probably isn't the case after a few million miles.
