Part 9/12:
- Full highway neural stack unification
An especially notable update from Elon suggested that, with version 12.5, Tesla aims to significantly reduce interventions, with major improvements in miles per intervention. This, combined with a move towards a single neural stack for both city streets and highways, signals a move towards a more unified and dependable system.
Addressing Key Challenges: Map Data, Planning, and Safety
Tesla’s autonomy hinges on multiple factors:
- Map Data Accuracy: Inaccurate or incomplete map data—particularly for speed limits—can impair decision-making. Testers highlight the need for the system to adapt to real-world conditions dynamically, rather than relying strictly on outdated map info.
