Part 3/12:

• "Stop at an RBC ATM nearby."

• "Find a McDonald's along the way."

• "Park near the arena."

The vehicle then executes these instructions autonomously, illustrating an AI assistant that feels almost human in its responsiveness and understanding.

Speed and Latency: The Critical Factors

Participants in the discussion emphasized the importance of low latency in voice commands. Tesla’s hardware and software architecture have been optimized over years, incorporating custom inference chips and high-speed hardware to ensure decisions are made almost instantaneously. This is crucial because delays or errors in command execution could undermine confidence in such AI-driven features.
