This morning, I received Tesla's FSD v12.3 software update in my car, and here’s my first impressions. 1. Overall, I’m super impressed. Ride quality is much more human-like than v11 with acceleration, braking and turning all much improved. 2. Smart decisions - overall, v12.3 made better and smarter decisions in challenging situations than v11. Several places where I know v11 would have difficulty, v12.3 handled with ease. 3. v12.3 handled speed bumps perfectly. 4. Many of my rides today...

I discuss why Tesla had to do a complete rewrite of FSD and more importantly, why it should allow them to improve faster and potentially solve autonomous driving. Narrow Driving Intelligence (NDI) is an approach to autonomous driving where each unique driving challenge, or edge case, is solved individually with a specific solution or algorithm. However, this approach does not improve the vehicle's ability to handle new, unseen edge cases. On the other hand, General Driving Intelligence...

I discuss Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Version 12, a significant rewrite of their driving software, transitioning from rule-based coding to a neural network approach.
