It’s generally accepted to mean the use of neural networks which Tesla is obviously using. Good luck even identifying a stop sign with “complex business logic” or “if/else”

Most important road signs have rather distinct shapes, standardized sizes and are angled towards oncoming traffic. Having an object with known shape aligned almost perfectly towards the camera is basically the best case for many primitive object detection algorithms.

True, but it’s equally important that a self-driving car be able to recognize a stop sign that is bent from a previous accident and facing an arbitrary angle (as well as one that is angled towards the car’s lane but applies to a different road).

They're "artificial neural networks" and it would seem to me it's recognizing stop signs by comparing them to images of stop signs. So I tend to lean toward "AI" is the latest "buzzword". I think in truth it's more akin to a search engine reacting to inputs, but from sensor data, than anything close to real "intelligence" of any kind.

I can see how it appears to intelligent, but it lacks reasoning, creativity, and critical thinking.

If I had a fully functional self-driving car, I wouldn't be lamenting that it wasn't creative enough
