A longer Tesla demo video with no cuts: [1] This one is at a consistent speed, about 3x normal, and it's worth playing at 1/3 speed to see what's happening. No freeway driving; it's driving around the Page Mill Road / Los Altos Hills area. This video shows an ahead view and three of the vehicle's cameras with their annotations. The system puts rectangular 2D boxes around things it recognizes.

Road centerline recognition seems good. Every road seems to have really clear centerline markings, though. Road edge recognition isn't always successful. Roadside obstacle recognition seems very dependent on recognizing cars and people. The system doesn't recognize a large trash can in the roadway until very close. Recognition of roadside traffic cones and barriers seems to be about 50%. Guard rails aren't recognized at all.

This has the look of something using deep neural networks trained on common obstacles. It doesn't look like something that profiles terrain.

Is there an easy way to play a Vimeo video at 1/3 speed?

Press F12 go to the console and type `document.querySelector('video').playbackRate=0.33;`

I use the html5 video speed control extension in Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/html5-video-speed-...

Mainly to play Vimeo videos at 2x speed since Vimeo refuses to put the feature in the player.

There are bookmarklets for Vimeo, and a Firefox add-on for controlling all HTML5 video speed.
