Musk says. "I think many of the best software engineers in the world are at, or spent much of their career at, video game houses," Musk says, emphasizing how problem-solving in video games transfers over to problem-solving in software engineering. "If people had to try to create incredibly realistic graphics using very little computer power, it's a hard problem, so a lot of people had to write really tight code and come up with really clever ideas to do that.
For Musk's team at Tesla, the enhanced graphics in video games enable them to better simulate self-driving cars with the help of artificial intelligence. He tasks his simulation team with creating a photorealistic world of what he says are some of the most boring things: skid marks on the road, concrete curves, shadows, and faded street lines. These simulations have been essential to the development of
