Since this is the thread to discuss AP3, I thought I would share my short term expectations for AP3 and what I think Tesla will achieve on AP3 at least at first. Hopefully, Tesla will surpass these expectations in the long term. But these are my short term expectations (1-2 years from now):
Highway Driving
Nav on AP is already pretty good at a lot of highway driving and the recent removal of stalk confirmation is promising. And we know AP3 only uses 10% of its compute load now for Nav on AP which leaves plenty of room for it to do more. Hopefully, AP3 will increase the reliability where Tesla can safely start to remove some of the "hold the wheel" nags. So I think it is not unrealistic that AP3 can get us to L3 highway driving at least for most highway situations. I imagine Nav on AP could remove the "hold the wheel" nags for some situations and notify the driver in advance when they need to hold the wheel again when Nav on AP sees a scenario it might be less reliable in (like a complex interchange coming up based on GPS or seeing a lot of traffic up ahead).
Expectation: Highway self-driving with no nags in most situations
City Driving
With the increased computational power of AP3 and the larger, more complex NN that Tesla will eventually build, I don't think it is unrealistic to expect that Tesla will get good traffic light detection, stop sign detection and intersection detection on AP3. And EAP can already handle the mundane situations of staying in your lane really well. So I think AP3 will be able to automate a good deal of city driving (stopping at red lights, making simple turns etc). So the car will be able to drive itself in some city driving but with driver attention. I definitely think Tesla will keep the "hold the wheel" nags for city driving for awhile.
Expectation: City self-driving in some situations (with nags so driver pays attention)
