Elon Musk that Tesla will be restarting work on Dojo3, the third generation of its . The Dojo team had been as the company prioritized the that run on board Tesla vehicles. Musk said the company is returning to the project now that the AI5 chip design is in good shape. The purpose of the Dojo project is to process video recordings and other data from Tesla vehicles and use that the neural net behind the company's Full Self-Driving software.

The preliminary evaluation by NHTSA is the first step before potentially seeking a recall of the vehicles. The preliminary evaluation by NHTSA is the first step before potentially seeking a recall of the vehicles. US automobile safety regulators have opened an investigation into Tesla vehicles equipped with its full self-driving technology over traffic-safety violations after a series of crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the electric carmaker's self driving assistance system, which requires drivers to pay attention and intervene if needed, had "induced vehicle behaviour that violated traffic safety laws". The preliminary evaluation by the NHTSA is the first step before potentially seeking a recall of the vehicles if it believes they pose a risk to safety.

A deadly accident in Washington that took the life of a motorcyclist earlier this year was caused by a Tesla vehicle while it was in "Full Self Driving" mode. The Associated Press reported that investigators from the Washington State Patrol confirmed that a 2022 Tesla Model S involved in the fatality accident in April was in self-driving mode from the car's event-data recorder. The accident occurred on April 19 on the eastbound side of State Route 522 approximately 15 miles northeast of Seattle. The unidentified driver told police he had his Tesla's self-driving mode on and was looking at his phone at the time of the crash. The vehicle crashed into the back of the motorcycle pinning Jeffrey Nissen, 28, underneath the vehicle.

A Tesla owner is blaming his vehicle's Full Self-Driving feature for veering toward an oncoming train before he could intervene. Craig Doty II, from Ohio, was driving down a road at night earlier this month when dashcam footage showed his Tesla quickly approaching a passing train with no sign of slowing down. He claimed his vehicle was in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode at the time and didn't slow down despite the train crossing the road - but did not specify the make or model of the car. In the video, the driver appears to have been forced to intervene by veering right through the railway crossing sign and coming to a stop mere feet from the moving train. Tesla has faced numerous lawsuits from owners who claimed the FSD or Autopilot feature caused them to crash because it didn't stop for another vehicle or swerved into an object, in some cases claiming the lives of drivers involved.

In addition to environmental perception sensors such as cameras, radars, etc. in the automatic driving system, the external environment of the vehicle is perceived, in fact, there is also a perception sensor that has been silently dedicated in the system, that is, the positioning module. This paper explores the application of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology in the context of automatic lane change behavior prediction and environment perception for autonomous vehicles. It discusses the limitations of traditional positioning methods, introduces SLAM technology, and compares LIDAR SLAM with visual SLAM. Real-world examples from companies like Tesla, Waymo, and Mobileye showcase the integration of AI-driven technologies, sensor fusion, and SLAM in autonomous driving systems. The paper then delves into the specifics of SLAM algorithms, sensor technologies, and the importance of automatic lane changes in driving safety and efficiency. It highlights Tesla's recent update to its Autopilot system, which incorporates automatic lane change functionality using SLAM technology. The paper concludes by emphasizing the crucial role of SLAM in enabling accurate environment perception, positioning, and decision-making for autonomous vehicles, ultimately enhancing safety and driving experience.

This paper presents an automated driving system (ADS) data acquisition and processing platform for vehicle trajectory extraction, reconstruction, and evaluation based on connected automated vehicle (CAV) cooperative perception. This platform presents a holistic pipeline from the raw advanced sensory data collection to data processing, which can process the sensor data from multiple CAVs and extract the objects' Identity (ID) number, position, speed, and orientation information in the map and Frenet coordinates. First, the ADS data acquisition and analytics platform are presented. Specifically, the experimental CAVs platform and sensor configuration are shown, and the processing software, including a deep-learning-based object detection algorithm using LiDAR information, a late fusion scheme to leverage cooperative perception to fuse the detected objects from multiple CAVs, and a multi-object tracking method is introduced. To further enhance the object detection and tracking results, high definition maps consisting of point cloud and vector maps are generated and forwarded to a world model to filter out the objects off the road and extract the objects' coordinates in Frenet coordinates and the lane information. In addition, a post-processing method is proposed to refine trajectories from the object tracking algorithms. Aiming to tackle the ID switch issue of the object tracking algorithm, a fuzzy-logic-based approach is proposed to detect the discontinuous trajectories of the same object. Finally, results, including object detection and tracking and a late fusion scheme, are presented, and the post-processing algorithm's improvements in noise level and outlier removal are discussed, confirming the functionality and effectiveness of the proposed holistic data collection and processing platform.

Cleveland-born Samuel Alderson (1914-2005) created crash test dummies for the auto industry, drastically improving driver safety. Eleven additional people were killed in U.S. crashes involving vehicles that were using automated driving systems during a four-month period earlier this year, according to newly released government data, part of an alarming pattern of incidents linked to the technology. Ten of the deaths involved vehicles made by Tesla, though it is unclear from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's data whether the technology itself was at fault or whether driver error might have been responsible. The 11th death involved a Ford pickup truck. The deaths included four crashes involving motorcycles that occurred during the spring and summer: Two in Florida and one each in California and Utah.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk kicked off its Tesla AI Day 2022 with a quick level set on expectations -- "we've come a long way" -- and then stepped aside to allow the first iteration of its robot walk out onto the stage. The robot wasn't a human dressed in a robot costume like last year. Instead, Tesla introduced a functioning robot, albeit with exposed cables and a bit wobbly, at its second annual event. According to Musk, it was the first time it was working without "any support, cranes, mechanical mechanisms or cables." After a brief turn about the stage, the robot left the stage before the rest of the presentation continued, which included several short videos of the robot (now tethered for stability) carrying a box in an office, watering a plant and lifting a small piece of metal in the Tesla factory in Fremont, California.

Elon Musk, a man not known for thinking small, has taken to the stage at an energy conference to announce his goals for the rest of the year. The Tesla chief said that he hopes his company's self-driving cars will be'in wide release' in the US and Europe by the end of 2022. Speaking at Offshore Northern Seas 2022 in Norway yesterday, he claimed that the launch of the autonomous electric vehicles depends on regulatory approval. The billionaire also said that he was focusing on the SpaceX Starship spacecraft, that had an orbital flight scheduled for this summer that has now been delayed. SpaceX was granted a license for this flight by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission earlier this month, and is now targeting a six-month window that opens on September 1. Musk told the audience: 'The two technologies I am focused on, trying to ideally get done before the end of the year, are getting our Starship into orbit ... and then having Tesla cars to be able to do self-driving.
