Tesla, who showed off at the AI event and introduced the first prototype of his humanoid robot called Optimus, also shared some information about its vehicles at the event. One of the most curious subjects was how many people could use the fully autonomous driving feature, which allows the vehicles to go completely on their own without user intervention. In this regard, the official figures expected from Tesla have been announced.
How many people use Tesla fully autonomous driving?
Autopilot Software Director Ashok Elluswamy took the stage to give information about the development of FSD software and stated that the number of active users using fully autonomous driving technology. 160 thousand declared that.
Elluswamy was just last year in the Tesla Autopilot FSD Beta program. 2,000 users announced that this number has increased to 160 thousand with the intense interest shown by the users in the past year.
Among the details shared at the event, 35 software updates have been released for fully autonomous driving, or FSD, to date. Answering questions at the end of the event, Elon Musk stated that FSD technology will be ready to be used in all countries by the end of the year.
Although this is a guess, Musk has made many predictions about the technology in question before.
Paril Jain, leader of the team that developed autopilot motion planning, explained that FSD technology makes decisions similar to human thought. This indicates that Tesla can understand the obstacles that it should not approach and will proceed in a different direction.
Tesla is working with datasets for surrounding 3D structures for FSD technology. The company’s engineering lead, Phil Duan, said that with the detailed collection of data, the detection and processing of 3D structures will also improve further. In addition, cars will be able to understand day, night, rainy and foggy weather. In this way, Tesla Autopilot will make better decisions.
According to the information shared by the company, it constantly develops artificial intelligence technology and transfers it to its users through updates. Tesla has a camera 1 millionIt examines images from more than 50,000 vehicles and tries to improve Autopilot. In addition, the enhancements are simulated with the Unreal Engine.
company, images from CU30 (30,000,000 GB) He also announced that he is working on a new chip called Dojo, while keeping it in a high-capacity data center. The chip in question will run on a dedicated computer and the full build is said to be done by the first quarter of 2023.
While Tesla vehicles come with autopilot technology by default, FSD technology can be purchased for 15 thousand dollars. The feature in question has 160 thousand users in the USA and Canada. It can also make difficult turns at intersections and can slow down and accelerate depending on the situation. Of course, it is worth noting that he pays attention to traffic rules and signs while doing these.
