Part 10/15:
Some experts speculate that Tesla’s upcoming Hardware 5 system—previously referenced by Elon Musk—will dramatically increase processing power (by tenfold over Hardware 4), enhancing sensor fusion and perception, especially in tricky conditions like rain. Though delays in hardware upgrades are possible, the focus remains on achieving safer, more reliable autonomous driving.
Safety Considerations and the Future Path
Critics like "One Mile per Intervention" emphasize that interventions, although decreasing over time, will remain part of the autonomous journey. The goal is to achieve millions, then billions, of miles driven autonomously with minimal interventions and incident rates. It’s understood that perfection isn't immediate, but the trajectory suggests continuous improvements.
