They're impressive when they're on a straight road. But I think it's very concerning just how noisy and low resolution the data the cameras are working with is.

They're impressive when they're on a straight road. But I think it's very concerning just how noisy and low resolution the data the cameras are working with is. You can watch some of the videos and the car won't recognise other traffic until it's literally within 20 meters of the car. The 3D positions of the cars are jumping around constantly. It will get the speed of traffic wrong and try to turn straight in front of someone that would cause an accident. Yes it's Beta but it's still a huge huge huge way behind what Elon claimed it would be by now. And he's doubled down on the current hardware being all that's required. I am 100% unconvinced that Tesla can get anywhere with their current system. I don't see how their low resolution cameras can get the necessary information for Level 5 autonomy. It almost feels like a reckless brute force approach to the problem. "Just let AI figure it out". Every autonomous vehicle company is going to be using some sort of machine learning but they're going to be feeding in huge amounts of data. Waymo for example is using multiple LIDAR scanners to build up an accurate 3D model of the world surrounding the car. That's what you need. Not what is effectively guesswork by an AI. We still don't have truly reliable face detection even after decades of research and we're supposed to believe that a car can reliably drive itself on shitty low resolution cameras alone.
