Tesla Autopilot Object Detection

Came across this interesting article How a Tesla computer “sees” the streets of Paris



Labels in Frame

• Lanes (Yellow)
• Speed (White)
• Type of Vehicle (Red)
• Signals in that Lane
• Alerting when vehicle before is stopped
• Dimension (Length of Vehicle)
• Pedestrian Detection / Speed
• Boundary of detected objects

Even if we take a frame and split into candidate windows, The operation is near real-time classification. It would be interesting to know the technique here RegionalCNN / CNN / Mask-RCNN how this network would like. Since this runs on the vehicle model may be deployed within the vehicle. The model size/frame size / overall architecture would be interesting to learn.

One more interesting Night Vision of Tesla I spotted recently

🚨🚨🚨
Tesla Model 3 plows info overturned truck on highway. I’m sure the driver was paying complete attention to the road and wasn’t relying on autopilot because he was told the car could drive itself....$TSLAQ pic.twitter.com/cHjueqH0j4
