The Tesla engineers have solved 95% of the self-driving problems, perhaps. The remaining 5% is, of course, much harder to solve


The infamous 90/90 rule:

> The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time.

They don’t have a self driving product at all. They have a couple variations of a level-2 driver assist product.


If the remaining 5% is much harder, wouldn't that mean they haven't really solved 95% of the problem?


Good point, I was thinking about 95% of the problem in terms of time spent on the road


Pareto principle sort of thing.


He said "full self driving" which is a Tesla marketing term that could mean absolutely anything.
