Back in July, Elon Musk complained that the crummy lines on the 405 Interstate around L.A. made it difficult testing ground for Autopilot; now, as more and more Model Ss (and all their various sensors, forward radar technology, and cameras) hit the roads, they will record and relay the information on highways and freeways across the fleet, creating a car-crowdsourced database of road conditions. Great note on the implications of crowd-sourced road data. If we're impressed with Waze/Google traffic notifications and re-routing now, how much better can we get if the vehicles themselves know how many others are out there and can report back on conditions, route equal numbers of vehicles to each detour to keep traffic volumes down, etc. Every car prior to this has been a dumb box in this regard, and by design. Looking forward to seeing what real-world testing demonstrates for the tens of thousands of Teslas on the road...
