Ideas discussed in his post might seem too far from the reality and controversial, but first don't forget they have been doing Tesla's self-driving ML models for a few years now - so, he definitely has some material to generalize. It's one of the most advanced ML models in production, and without reflecting on the process it would be hard to develop it, would be hard to maintain it, etc.
Also, from my own experience building DVC - when you do any ML project you do have code indeed, but not doubt that data can be considered as important element as code, we need to take it seriously - track, review, etc, etc.
- mindfulplay 6y agoThat is indeed the scariest part. Given the number of vehicular fatalities this guy is personally responsible for at Tesla, I don't think this is a smart or important approach. The callous nature in which people apply Silicon Valley mindset to critical infrastructure problems is scary: perhaps he should get off his self-driving high horse.
- ishcheklein 6y agoI think it's orthogonal question, right? Even if there were some mistakes, how many more death there would have been if they were not thinking about rigorous process behind ML development?
- mindfulplay 6y agoI would not use Silicon Valley technology to A/B test death rates by 'trying' arbitrary 'cool' things inside a fast moving metal torpedo. He can play with toys as he pleases but using real cars seems absolutely bonkers.
