Hi,

When I learned Tesla went from frame-pixel analysis to object classification, I knew it would take awhile to get a better product. In effect the earlier approach was suspended.

Pixel analysis does not scale well and has no ability to predict paths. In contrast, classification of objects means they follow predictable paths. The computational load of a set of objects is trivial compared to analyzing the pixels of each frame and throwing it away with the next frame.

FSD is still 'beta' which means there are reproducible errors. Happily the beta testers are pretty good about sharing the weaker parts.

Being resentful about the development delay does no good. As a beta tester, I'm impressed with the current performance, a C+ or B- grade.
