    these tasks through a single neural =

    Ryan Williams, a theoretical computer s= cientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, recently posted a pr= oof online on the relationship between time and memory in computing. The pr= oof, which showed that memory was more powerful than computer scientists ha=
    d previously believed, established a mathematical procedure for transformin=
    g any algorithm, no matter what it does, into a form that uses much less sp= ace. It also implies there are calculations that can't be computed in certa=

    Tesla's head of AI and self-driving, As= hok Elluswamy, recently admitted in an interview that the automaker's auton= omous program is lagging a couple of years behind Waymo's. However, Tesla's=

    scale faster. Tesla produces over a million cars a year, versus Waymo's fe=

The company is still limited to a level 2 advanced driver sy= stem, which requires constant supervision from the driver, while Waymo has = been providing customers with level 4 autonomous driving rides for years.
