Tesla Achieved The Accuracy Of Lidar With Its Advanced Computer Vision Tech CleanTechnica

Tesla's progress with artificial intelligence and neural nets has propelled its Autopilot and Full Self Driving solutions to the front of the pack. This is the result of the brilliant work of a large team of Autopilot directors and staff, including Tesla's Senior Director of AI, Andrej Karpathy. Karpathy presented Tesla's methods for training its AI at the Scaled ML Conference in February. Along the way, he shared specific insights into Tesla's methods for achieving the accuracy of traditional laser-based lidar with just a handful of cameras. The secret sauce in Tesla's ever-evolving solution is not the cameras themselves, but rather the advanced processing and neural nets they have built to make sense of the wide range and quality of inputs.
