This sounds very scary to me. Neural Networks have great results on many classification tasks, however they "hallucinate" on completely random and/or easy inputs in an unpredictable way. I already delivered hundreds of classifiers to production in my career and I always had to safeguard inputs for cases I knew the answers or it was wrong. Production ML is always hybrid with hand-made rules. I hope this is just a marketing-term and not something forced to please Musk.
- quonn 3y agoWhy would this be different with a net that only handles the input? It would be the same. All v12 does is learn control outputs directly from camera data instead of, for example, learning to detect a traffic light and then have some hand rolled logic. If the input is unpredictably new it would have failed in either case.
