马斯克在回复一位网友讨论特斯拉FSD与英伟达Alpamayo的差距的帖子时称："要实现安全、无人监督 的自动驾驶，大约需要100亿英里的训练数据。现实中的长尾问题超级复杂。" 该网友在帖子中写道："对于许多人来说，区分演示和产品是很困难的，这是可以理解的。在技术方 面，一些产品的演示效果很好，已经接近最终的生产就绪状态。对其他人来说，演示和产品之间的差距 是巨大的。非工程师往往低估了跨越这一鸿沟所需的过程。 有些问题比他们的演示所显示的要困难得多，'全自动驾驶'就是其中之一。使用FSD，从引人注目的演 示到成品的过渡是非常困难的。问题空间是由一组有效的无界边缘情况定义的，而进展则是由打磨长尾 决定的。 这就是为什么，鉴于我的背景，我很容易忽视NVIDIA的Alpamayo平台。有些人认为我的观点是傲慢 的。我不同意。 你必须了解特斯拉为了接近最终目标所经历的整个过程。这需要数年持续不断的努力。即使从FSD v12 的架构重置开始，也需要大量的工作来系统地、逐次迭代地减少长尾问题，如今已发展到v14。 马斯克在回复一位网友讨论特斯拉FSD与英伟达Alpamayo的差距的帖子时称："要实现安全、无人监督 的自动驾 ...
