The giant leap is Tesla is an AI company. Most companies gather data if they can, you wouldn't call them an AI company. A concrete example: Amazon, Walmart, and Target collect a lot of data on their respective ecommerce websites. Are they AI companies? They also and use train machine learning models.
Tesla is trying to fix left turn regressions [1] in an if statement it introduced with its latest over the air update. Working on getting an iteratively better lane / cruise control assist is something many auto companies are doing, and that also doesn't make them AI companies.

- jhgg 5y agoI mean in the same event that you list, Elon literally opens with: "Tesla is much more than an automotive company, and we have lots of deep AI activity..." I think it is fair to say that a company that is literally inventing its own AI training supercomputer is probably an AI company as well :) https://youtu.be/j0z4FweCy4M?t=2833 https://youtu.be/j0z4FweCy4M?t=2833
- ctvo 5y agoElon says a lot of things. Elon also brought out a person in a robot costume to dance. I stand by it takes giant leaps to think Tesla is an AI company at this stage and them collecting data doesn’t change that.
