@WholeMarsBlog True. We are working on a feature where the car identifies probable viable parking spaces. You tap on one, exit the vehicle and it parks there.

We will see massive strides in robotics over next year - all breakthroughs for language and image generation are accelerating the progress on this front. The fluid natural motion and intelligence to do more complex tasks is what you get when you go all in on foundation models

Trying to deny consumers access to a technology that makes them 10x better drivers—or gin up opposition to the same—is immoral. Even at the current state of the technology, if every driven mile in the US were FSD-facilitated, 40,000+ deaths could be avoided.

Stating the obvious: When churning through experiments, continue playing with variants of your model extensively, even if they aren’t SOTA on metrics. 90% success on a metric doesn’t mean much if you haven’t intuitively mapped it to real world performance.

Aligning large teams of humans is often harder than aligning the models they’re building. Set the wrong incentives and you’ll likely see reward hacking. Sparse rewards and slow feedback loop can mask failures until they’ve compounded over days, even weeks!
