Tesla publishes nothing and I only know a little from Karpathy’s occasional talks, which are as much about PR (to keep Tesla owners happy and investing in FSD, presumably) & recruiting as anything else. But their approach seems heavily focused on supervised learning in CNNs and active learning using their fleet to collect new images, and to have nothing to do with AGI plans. They don’t seem to even be using DRL much. It is extremely unlikely that Tesla is going to be relevant to AGI or progress in the field in general given their secrecy and domain-specific work. (I’m not sure how well they’re doing even at self-driving cars—I keep reading about people dying when their Tesla runs into a stationary object on a highway in the middle of the day, which you’d think they’d’ve solved by now...)
I’m pretty sure I remember hearing they use unsupervised learning to form their 3D model of their local environment, and that’s the most important part, no?
I believe that is referring to the baseline driver assistance system, and not the advanced “full self driving” one (that has to be paid for separately). Though it’s hard to tell that level of detail from a mainstream media report.

Curious if you have updated on this at all, given AI Day announcements?
They still running into stationary objects? The hardware is cool, sure, but unclear how much good it’s doing them...
