Tesla In order to test the Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems, an San Francisco was simulated using Unreal Engine. Tesla needs to go through multiple testing steps before pushing any system update to the car owner. First, Tesla employees conducted internal testing on closed waterways and on public roads, but before that, Tesla would conduct testing in simulated environments.
Electrek has obtained images of Tesla’s simulations, where Tesla is rebuilding parts of San Francisco to test Autopilot and fully autonomous driving (FSD):
The automaker has even hired many environmental artists involved in some of these video games and other popular games, such as some of the latest in the Call of Duty series, to develop the simulation.
Tesla currently has several “automatic driving simulation” job listings that describe the role of “automatic driving rendering engineer”:
As an Autopilot rendering engineer, you will contribute to the development of Autopilot simulation by supporting and supporting the creation of photorealistic 3D scenes that accurately simulate driving experiences in various areas and conditions. You will work across teams to provide graphics technology that can create high-fidelity scenarios and be able to faithfully reproduce the behavior of the autopilot in simulations.
