FSD V13: A Human-Like Driving Experience
- Tesla's FSD v13 is a significant improvement over v12, transitioning from robotic to human-like driving.
- It solves driving tasks like humans, using subtle cues and signs for navigation.
The Double-Edged Sword of Maps in FSD
- While maps can be useful for autonomous driving, they can also become a crutch, hindering the development of true vision-based systems.
- Tesla may use maps for specific operational challenges, but their goal is a system that doesn't heavily rely on them.
CyberCab: A Vehicle for a Driverless Future
- The CyberCab is designed to capitalize on a self-driving future, eliminating the steering wheel.
- James Douma believes its success hinges on regulatory approval for fully autonomous vehicles.
