Karpathy presented Tesla\u2019s methods for training its AI at the Scaled ML Conference in February. Along the way, he shared specific insights into Tesla\u2019s methods for achieving the accuracy of traditional laser-based lidar with just a handful of cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The secret sauce in Tesla\u2019s 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. One new technique Tesla\u2019s AI team has built is called pseudo-lidar. It blends the lines between traditional computer vision and the powerful point map world of lidar.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional lidar-based systems rely on an array of lidar hardware to provide an unparalleled view of the world around the vehicle. These systems leverage invisible lasers or similar tech to send a massive number of pings out into the world to detect surrounding objects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla\u2019s progress with artificial intelligence and neural nets has propelled its Autopilot and Full Self Driving solutions to the front of the pack.
