Has it really? How much data is each car sending to Tesla HQ? Anybody actually know? That's a lot of cell phone bandwidth to pay for, and a lot of data to digest.
Vast amounts of data about routine driving is not all that useful, anyway. A "highlights reel" of interesting situations is probably more valuable for training. Waymo has shown some highlights reels like that, such as the one were someone in a powered wheelchair is chasing a duck in the middle of a residential street.

- ethbr1 2y agoThe argument wouldn't be "better at" but simply "more". Sensor platforms deployed at scale, that you have the right to take data from, are difficult to replicate.
- jeffbee 2y agoFor most organizations data is a burden rather than a benefit. Tesla has never demonstrated that they can convert data to money, while that is the sole purpose of everything Google has built for decades.
