The Road to Autonomy - AI, Driverless Cars and Robotaxi
The aspirations started two decades ago, when Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA, ignited the industry and the academia to explore the possibilities of self driving vehicle. Today, the leading EV manufacturer, Tesla, announced their FSD drove a Billion miles. A Billion Miles!! What is FSD? Full Self Driving is an add on feature for Tesla cars which allows the car self drive itself to destinations with the driver paying attention. This is infusion of software and hardware connected to an AI computational engine.
Tesla drivers have driven over 1 billion miles on FSD, a cumulative number of miles exceeding the distance between the Earth and Saturn.
