Tesla FSD CNNs Debate

Condolences to the Tesla FSD team who have to ship a version without CNNs by next week Yann LeCun Yes, but the other man invented a key technique that made autonomous driving possible: convolutional neural networks. Convolutional nets are used in just about every real-time vision system today. For driving assistance, they have been used by MobilEye since 2014, by Tesla since... Elon Musk We don’t use CNNs much these days tbh Yann LeCun Curious to know how you could possibly do real-time camera image understanding in FSD without ConvNets, TBH.

A screenshot of a social-media exchange between Yann LeCun and Elon Musk about Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system. LeCun points out that convolutional neural networks are fundamental to real-time computer vision, while Musk says Tesla does not use CNNs much anymore. The joke is the skeptical technical response implying that Musk’s claim is difficult to reconcile with how autonomous driving vision systems work; people send it as a reaction to confident but questionable tech statements.
