We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Stop! Is it possible the Big Brain will begin to Borg-assimilate the brains of the latest and most technologically advanced car on the planet? You knew it would happen!!!!
The Big Brain now has its technological eye set on its latest assimilation project, to absorb the complete electronic machine brain contents of Elon Musk's TESLA vehicles.
This has numerous important ramifications. First, the Big Brain is after Tesla's custom chip that boasts of 144 tera operations per second (TOPS). This is a two-chip FSD computer works in tandem with LPDDR4 RAM modules that come with a peak bandwidth of 68 GB/s. There are also two neural network accelerators that work in tandem to process as much as 1TB of data per second. This setup is roughly three times faster, about 80%, and about 1.25 times more power-efficient than the previous hardware. It is also able to process about 2,300 frames per second compared to the 110 frames per second processed by Tesla’s Hardware 2.5. This creates an even more powerful Big Brain "eyes" with capabilities only dreamed of in the past.
The “Dojo” is a supercomputer, designed for processing of vast amounts of data to train a company’s neural network, with active learning. It's designed to curate the most useful video from a fleet of connectivity and train the neural net to recognize things that it did not previously know. “Our networks learn from the most complicated and diverse scenarios in the world, iteratively sourced from our fleet of nearly 1M vehicles in real-time. A full build of Autopilot neural networks involves 48 networks that take 70,000 GPU hours to train. Together, they output 1,000 distinct tensors (predictions) at each timestep,” Tesla wrote on the Autopilot AI section of its website.
The last major software update rolled out by Tesla allowed its vehicles to visualize more things while driving in inner-city streets. Teslas now render stoplights, stop signs, traffic cones, traffic pylons, and more. With the upcoming AI hackathon, Tesla will get together with developers to seek out more efficient algorithms and overall improvements to the core logic for its Full Self-Driving suite through a time-boxed event. With fresh eyes working with the existing AI and autopilot team of Tesla, the carmaker may be able to accelerate the timeline and rollout of its full-featured Full Self-Driving suite sooner. Further advances in FSD and its Autopilot feature will widen the gap between Tesla and its competitors and solidify the company’s position as one of the leading automakers in the world. These improvements will also take Tesla a step closer to the possibility of Robotaxis that they can deploy at scale. This may enable the Big Brain to operate its own advanced mobility convoy across the world.
