Lex Fridman Interview with Elon Musk on the Tesla Autopilot

Some interesting updates on and information about Tesla's AutoPilot.

Few interesting things from the interview:

Musk seems very confident that full self-driving will be ready within 2 years and that Tesla will do it before anyone else.

Tesla worked on a neural-networks chip for the last 3 years. It's now in production and 10x faster than NVIDIA chip they use now.

Improving self driving technology is about collecting data set for corner cases and then training neural network on this data.

Tesla has ~500k cars collecting data for corner cases. The second best competitor probably less than 5k cars. Therefore Tesla collects data at a rate 100x than anyone else.

Recently researches tricked Tesla's auto-pilot with stickers on the road. Musk says that fixing this is trivial by using such cases as negative test cases in NN training.
