TESLA – Artificial Intelligence & Autopilot – Tesla Bot

We develop and deploy autonomy at scale in vehicles, robots and more. We believe that an approach based on advanced AI for vision and planning, supported by efficient use of inference hardware, is the only way to achieve a general solution for full self-driving and beyond.

Hardware

Build silicon chips that power our full self-driving software from the ground up, taking every small architectural and micro-architectural improvement into account while pushing hard to squeeze maximum silicon performance-per-watt. Perform floor-planning, timing and power analyses on the design. Write robust, randomized tests and scoreboards to verify functionality and performance. Implement compilers and drivers to program and communicate with the chip, with a strong focus on performance optimization and power savings. Finally, validate the silicon chip and bring it to mass production.

Neural Networks

Apply cutting-edge research to train deep neural networks on problems ranging from perception to control. Our per-camera networks analyze raw images to perform semantic segmentation, object detection and monocular depth estimation. Our birds-eye-view networks take video from all cameras to output the road layout, static infrastructure and 3D objects directly in the top-down view. Our networks learn from the most complicated and diverse scenarios in the world, iteratively sourced from our fleet of nearly 1M vehicles in real time. A full build of Autopilot neural networks involves 48 networks that take 70,000 GPU hours to train . Together, they output 1,000 distinct tensors (predictions) at each timestep.

Autonomy Algorithms

Develop the core algorithms that drive the car by creating a high-fidelity representation of the world and planning trajectories in that space. In order to train the neural networks to predict such representations, algorithmically create accurate and large-scale ground truth data by combining information from the car’s sensors across space and time. Use state-of-the-art techniques to build a robust planning and decision-making system that operates in complicated real-world situations under uncertainty. Evaluate your algorithms at the scale of the entire Tesla fleet.

Code Foundations

Throughput, latency, correctness and determinism are the main metrics we optimize our code for. Build the Autopilot software foundations up from the lowest levels of the stack, tightly integrating with our custom hardware. Implement super-reliable bootloaders with support for over-the-air updates and bring up customized Linux kernels. Write fast, memory-efficient low-level code to capture high-frequency, high-volume data from our sensors, and to share it with multiple consumer processes— without impacting central memory access latency or starving critical functional code from CPU cycles. Squeeze and pipeline compute across a variety of hardware processing units, distributed across multiple system-on-chips.

Evaluation Infrastructure

Build open- and closed-loop, hardware-in-the-loop evaluation tools and infrastructure at scale, to accelerate the pace of innovation, track performance improvements and prevent regressions. Leverage anonymized characteristic clips from our fleet and integrate them into large suites of test cases. Write code simulating our real-world environment, producing highly realistic graphics and other sensor data that feed our Autopilot software for live debugging or automated testing.

Tesla Bot

Develop the next generation of automation, including a general purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot capable of performing tasks that are unsafe, repetitive or boring. We’re seeking mechanical, electrical, controls and software engineers to help us leverage our AI expertise beyond our vehicle fleet.

Here’s Why CES 2022 in Las Vegas Will be for the Vaccinated

As a CEO running a national trade association – the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) – these past 18 months put me on a roller coaster of emotion as I work to lead by example and make decisions that will have positive effects.

In July 2020, I led the decision process to cancel our live, in-person, CES and opt for a digital show instead. This was a difficult choice because I knew it was going to have a negative effect on a lot of people. First, our staff – we had to downsize and lay off employees. Second, the City of Las Vegas – they rely on events like CES to bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the city and fuel their local economy. Canceling our in-person CES affected the hotels and the hospitality workers and the workers who welcome us each year and help us pull off the most influential tech gathering in the world! Third, the industry – tens of thousands each year gather at CES to see the latest innovation, to meet new business partners and to develop new ideas.

As difficult as that decision was, I knew it was the right one because with no vaccine available it simply was not safe to hold CES during a pandemic. Our only defense against COVID-19 at that time was to minimize contact with people, wash our hands and wear face masks. Canceling the in-person CES was the right thing to do – we wanted to do our part and not spread the disease.

Fast forward a year to August 2021. Vaccines are readily available in the United States and several other countries. More and more Americans are now fully vaccinated. However, as vaccines are making their way around the world, so is a new threat – the Delta variant.

We have seen a spike in cases due to the Delta variant, which is severely hurting the unvaccinated population. Yes, there are breakthrough cases for the vaccinated, but many of those have few or no symptoms at all. And of the vaccinated getting the Delta variant, only a tiny percentage are hospitalized.

We prioritize the safety and security of CES participants. Which is why, once again, my team has confronted a major decision: CES will be in person in Las Vegas in January 2022, and we will require all attendees to be fully vaccinated. We are also assessing proof of a positive antibody test as a requirement and will share more details on this later. Importantly, we will continue to follow state and local guidelines and recommendations by the CDC and will announce additional protocols as we get closer to the show.

We all play a role in stopping the spread – requiring proof of vaccination for CES 2022 is one way we can take responsibility on our part.

Many are clamoring to return to the serendipity and relationship-building of in-person events—so are we. CES is where business gets done. It’s an economic engine for our industry and an opportunity for companies from around the world, both large and small, to launch products, build brands and form partnerships. Tech has also evolved by leaps and bounds in the last year and a half—we need to convene and connect so we can maintain our momentum and continue to inspire innovative solutions for a rapidly changing world.

We know our decision to require vaccines—and potentially positive antibody tests—may not be popular for some, but for many others it will allow them to know they can experience CES once again—and get back to business as usual.

For those who cannot attend CES in person, we offer the CES experience through our digital platform and hope to welcome you back to Las Vegas in 2023. Regardless of how you choose to participate in CES 2022, I hope you find inspiration, make new connections, build your business and step into the rest of the year with a renewed sense of hope for how tech continues to improve all our lives.

CORAIL, Roche Bobois design Antoine Fritsch & Vivien Durisotti

Texte technique

Table repas ronde ou rectangulaire avec piètement réalisé par impression 3D de béton (BUHP), personnalisable en forme et texture. Platine en acier (laque époxy, 2 coloris), plateau en verre trempé ép. 15mm.

Existe en 5 formes et dimensions.

Texte poétique

Avec CORAIL, Roche Bobois réalise une première mondiale dans l’ameublement, une innovation qui va sans doute changer le rapport des consommateurs à la création, mais aussi celui de l’industrie à sa distribution: sa base est réalisée en béton à partir d’une imprimante 3D, et personnalisable.

Autre innovation majeure, le logiciel que le client –chez lui ou avec un conseiller en boutique– peut utiliser pour influer sur l’objet : choisir sa forme, sa taille, mais aussi choisir d’appliquer l’effet de tressage où il veut, et visionner en direct l’objet qu’il façonne. Le code génétique ainsi défini nourrira l’imprimante 3D. En cinq formats ronds et rectangles, il définira les effets de torsion et de tressage qui feront d’elle sa pièce unique.

Après l’insertion de ce code génétique de la base contenant ses caractéristiques, l’imprimante géante, merveille de technologie, se met en marche. En un mouvement continu du bas jusqu’en haut, la buse pilotée numériquement dépose un serpent de BUHP (béton ultra-haute performance) qui durcit au fur et à mesure des superpositions.

Avec sa forme évoquant les champignons polyphores incrustés aux arbres, des coraux sur leur récif ou d’énormes coquillages baroques, Corail est avant tout un superbe objet inspiré par la beauté de l’imperfection naturelle et qui laisse libre cours à l’imagination de celui qui l’adopte.

Biographie designer

Deux doigts d’une même main, Antoine Fritsch et Vivien Durisotti sont en recherche permanente d’équilibre entre l’homme et son environnement.

Ces collaborations, faites d’humanité, donnent poésie et profondeur à leurs créations. Ardents militants du « positive design », Antoine et Vivien ont à cœur d’anticiper les mutations de société en cours, d’un éclairage prospectif et généreux. Leur vision invite à un mieux vivre ensemble communicatif. De l’appétit de comprendre, d’innover et surprendre, jusqu’au plaisir de faire et satisfaire.

CORAIL

design Antoine Fritsch & Vivien Durisotti

Technical text

Round dining table with 3D-printed concrete (UHPC) with customizable shape and texture. Steel base (epoxy lacquer, 2 colours), top in 15mm- thick tempered glass.

L.280 x H.73 x D.120 cm

Available in 5 shapes and dimensions.

Poetic text

With CORAIL, Roche Bobois has achieved a world first in furniture – an innovation that is set to change the relationship both between consumers and design, and between the industry and its distribution. The table’s base is made from 3D-printed concrete and fully customisable. Once the “genetic code” containing the base’s characteristics is inserted, the giant printer – a marvel of technology – is activated. In a continuous upwards movement, the digitally operated nozzle dispenses a ribbon of UHPC (ultra-high performance concrete) that hardens in the course of layering.

Another major innovation is the software that customers can use at home or with an in-store advisor to help craft the object: choose its shape and size, decide whether to apply a weaving effect and where, and view their design in real time. The resulting “code” will feed the 3D printer. In addition to being customisable, this new process has potential ecological virtues: it will be easier to send a digital file to the United States or China and to have the base manufactured there by a local printer equipped with the technology. This would generate carbon savings by cutting out transport.

Its shape summons polypore fungi incrusted in trees, coral colonies on a reef, or giant baroque shells. Corail is a superb object inspired by the beauty of natural imperfection, giving free rein to the imagination of its owner. The base comes in five round and rectangular shapes, and customers can choose the twisting and weaving effects that will make their piece unique. The dotted texture of the ultra-high performance concrete lets them explore a wide range of options before reaching their decision.

Designer biography

Antoine Fritsch and Vivien Durisotti are constantly searching for harmony between people and our environment. Each project is approached with a global vision that considers the user’s needs. The sincerity of their collaborations adds poetic charm and depth to their creations. Ardent advocates of positive design, their ethos is based on encouraging more interaction between people. Fritsh and Durisotti have the ability to innovate, surprise and delight those who encounter their designs.

Headphones Intraurales True Wireless Worthing | Bowers & Wilkins PI7 y PI5

New Bowers & Wilkins PI7 and PI5 Bring True Sound to True Wireless In-Ear Headphones Worthing, England, April 2021: True Wireless (TWS) In-Ear Headphones are immensely popular, but most designs currently available represent the fruit of a commitment to the one whose sound quality is sacrificed in favor of wireless convenience. Bowers & Wilkins has always insisted that this problem should be corrected before it could consider
launching its own TWS products.

Now, after a long period of development, Bowers & Wilkins is proud to bring two new products that carry the brand’s celebrated promise of True Sound with absolute performance into the True Wireless Intraaural Headphone category. Both the PI7 and PI5 offer all the sound quality that music lovers should expect from a Bowers & Wilkins signed product combined with a wide range of practical and smart features, extreme transparency on phone calls and a design as beautiful as exclusive.

Two new and impressive models

PI7
Available in White and Charcoal
RRP: € 399 €

PI5
Available in White and Charcoal
RRP: € 399 €

The reference model is the PI7, equipped with the wireless transmission system from Qualcomm aptX Adaptive compatible mobile devices, which allows listening to high-resolution music via streaming from services such as Qobuz. The PI7s accompany this “Hi-Res” compatibility with a 24-bit / 48 kHz wireless transmission between helmet and helmet. Together, these two technologies make the PI7 one of the very few True Wireless headphones that support high-resolution audio all the way from the music source to the user’s ears.

In addition, while the enclosure of each of the PI7’s headphones is compact enough to fit comfortably in the ear, these headphones exhibit technical characteristics that are
remarkably close to those of an advanced conventional loudspeaker. Each hull incorporates a custom-made 9.2 mm diameter transducer by Bowers & Wilkins that is complemented by a “balanced shell” type dedicated exclusively to high frequencies, each of the four transducers in the system being excited by its own amplifier. This setup ensures exceptional control, superlative dynamics, and deep, accurate bass.

The PI7s also include Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to monitor and analyze your environment so that it can automatically adapt to it, ensuring the best possible listening experience. This system is complemented by six microphones – three on each helmet to guarantee crystal clear sound quality for phone calls. The PI7s are accompanied by the equally new PI5s, which utilize TWS + technology for robust, high-quality sync between hulls, coupled with the use of a single custom-made 9.2mm full-range transducer by Bowers. & Wilkins on each helmet. The PI5 can reproduce CD quality sound from compatible mobile devices thanks to the inclusion of the aptX high quality wireless audio transmission system.

Intelligent Functions Both the PI7 and the PI5 can be configured through the Bowers & Wilkins Headphones App, as well as including a simple user interface formed by a single button –capacitive type and that allows to perform multiple tasks in a simple and elegant way- and support for voice control via Apple Siri or Google Assistant depending on the connected device.

Likewise, it is possible to wirelessly synchronize – pair – multiple devices to each model, thus allowing the user to reconnect easily and comfortably to each source – for example, switching from listening to music on a phone to an online conference on a phone. laptop according to your needs.

Finally, both models offer the convenience of a wireless recharge compatible with a wide range of accessories, as well as boxes / charging cases that can recharge the battery of each helmet when it has been depleted. The PI5s will work for four and a half hours before requiring a recharge, while for the PI7s this autonomy is four hours. From that moment on, the respective charging boxes will provide up to four full recharges to each helmet, so the user will have guaranteed entertainment for long hours. In this sense, the PI7s offer a genuinely unique feature that will make even the longest journeys more bearable:

Both full specifications and images for each product – in all finishes – are available on the Bowers & Wilkins Hub. Available from April 21, the PI7 and PI5 aim to achieve the same impact in the TWS category previously achieved by the celebrated and award-winning Bowers & Wilkins headphones. The company has taken the time to create its first True Wireles Intraaural Headphones, but we think the result has been worth the wait.
