Part 4/11:
Musk detailed Tesla’s progress toward fully autonomous cars, which could soon operate on US roads without human intervention. Using digital neural networks and cameras—comparable to biological eyes—Tesla’s AI systems are rapidly improving. Musk explained that achieving full autonomy requires AI to comprehend and interpret environmental data, anticipate human and pedestrian actions, and learn complex behaviors akin to a "baby artificial general intelligence."
He estimated that by the time autonomous vehicles become fully mainstream, their utility could increase fivefold due to their ability to operate around-the-clock, effectively functioning like automated taxis. This shift could drastically reduce car ownership needs and revolutionize personal transportation.
