Given Tesla's track record, I find that statement hard to agree with. I have no qualms necessarily with most nuts and bolts part of it, but the entire self driving division reeks of rushed compared to what the project actually requires.
I think more relevant though, would be Tesla's hype around "Autopilot" when they still can't reliably avoid parked cars.
And this isn't that impressive in the slightest.
It's a great product and genuinely impressive, but you're comparing specialist vs generalist hardware. Half an order of magnitude improvements are table stakes, otherwise it's crazy not to just buy off the shelf.
My 2070 Super does 9 TFLOPs but it's paired with an 3900X which barely does 1... is my graphics card an order of magnitude better than my CPU?
