> The Tesla v12 software update is expected to introduce what CEO Elon Musk has been calling “end-to-end neural nets”. The biggest difference with previous FSD updates is that the vehicle’s controls would now be handled by neural nets rather than being coded by programmers. Up until now Tesla's software used a neural net for vision (i.e to turn camera view of road into an internal representation of road, cars, people, traffic signs, etc), but used conventional programming (300K lines of C++!) to actually drive the car - change speed, steer, switch lanes etc to follow the desired route given the cars position on the road/etc provided by the vision input. This new release is now replacing those 300K lines of C++ with another neural net that has learned when to change lanes, how to steer etc. There is still just a vision system that "sees" the road, and a driving system that steers the car based on this vision input. Too bad the real world isn't a video game or Tesla simulator world ...
