Something tells me Karpathy rarely uses the “FSD” in his Tesla. He barely mentioned Tesla FSD in the blog despite being a key leader in the project. Perhaps he’d like to forget about it all together..

Maybe Elon really screwed the project by forcing the use of video cams and Karpathy is still salty about it.

Actually if you read the blog he addresses Waymo and Tesla's strategy. He says the barriers to Tesla scaling are software and Waymo needs to scale hardware. He then implies that software will win the scaling race

LIDAR is rapidly falling in price, which will enable lots of interesting applications even if Tesla’s bet pays off.

Tesla "its just another software update away" pumps are the most delusional.

Tesla cameras aren't even class leading in the automative industry, let alone at the cars price point. They are worse than the iPhone you handed down to your tween 5 years ago. What makes anyone think that their quality and placement will ever be adequate even with new CPUs and better software?

I think Karpathy is referring to the building of cars when he refers to scaling hardware.

I find it strange that you accuse Karpathy of delusional pumping.

I think most folks use FSD for what it was intended for, L2 driving. It's a horrible name but it's not crazy to think maybe they'll get their shit together and figure out how to get to L4.

They might just learn they need to add back modalities they neglected previously, or explore some new ones.
