Part 11/13:
The speaker contrasts the difference between AI models like ChatGPT and Tesla's self-driving AI. ChatGPT takes text inputs, processes vast language models, and generates responses seemingly instantaneously. Correction: these are limited to textual data and operate in a controlled, non-safety-critical environment.
Tesla's AI, however, processes data from eight cameras, creates a unified vector space, and makes split-second decisions—no room for errors—about steering, braking, and navigating complex, unpredictable environments. The computational challenge is enormous: real-time inference, life-and-death decision-making, and accurate understanding of dynamic environments—all within less than a second.
