Tesla Autopilot Full Self Driving Demo
Tesla has activated full self driving in a limited capacity, but aside from a few short tests, we haven’t seen just how advanced it really is. This feature is made possible with large neural networks for Autopilot, thanks to a Tesla-designed system on a chip that can process 2,300 frames per second (fps). This marks a 21x improvement in image processing compared to HW2.5, which is capable of 110 fps.

The latest hardware is basically a “neural network accelerator,” and each chip is capable of 36 trillion operations per second, with two chips onboard for redundancy. Elon Musk claims that full autonomy is “really a software limitation: The hardware exists to create full autonomy, so it’s really about developing advanced, narrow AI for the car to operate on.” Aside from a few snags, this long road trip went off without a hitch.
