I'd think Tesla would be leading in terms of autonomous mikes driven given that they have sold 100k+ vehicles with Autopilot.
- maxerickson 8y agoDoes Tesla Autopilot navigate controlled intersections on it's own? If not, it's kind of a silly comparison.
- milesokeefe 8y agoIt doesn't. It's just RGB camera + front-facing radar based lane keeping and traffic aware cruise control. It will also change lanes when you signal, but that's just augmented lane keeping. It's frustrating and dangerous how many people don't realize the massive difference there is between Autopilot and autonomy. It's mostly Tesla's fault in how they market it IMO.
- slivym 8y agoNo, if you want to compare autonomous miles driven by that definition the Chevrolet Cruze is leading in terms of autonomous miles driven given that they sold the most vehicles in the US with cruise control. If you want to talk about real autonomous driving then it's Waymo.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoDo Cruze vehicles supply data back to GM constantly that is used to improve self driving models? Updated models which are pushed back down to vehicles?
