Part 8/13:
The advancements in training neural nets stem from a paradigm shift: numerous real-world miles are being collected and processed at an unprecedented scale. Data is gathered from Tesla's 5 million vehicles, each collecting high-quality video data through multiple cameras. Through sophisticated algorithms, Tesla filters out irrelevant data, focusing on outlier events or rare scenarios, which are most valuable for improving neural network performance.
This massive real-world data collection and processing ecosystem allows Tesla to refine its driving models continuously, exponentially accelerating AI development. Musk emphasizes that typical competitors cannot match Tesla's integrated data pipeline, computational infrastructure, and autonomous drive software.
