1:49:30. I’m on mobile otherwise I would link to the exact spot.
Tesla has tens (hundreds?) of thousands of vehicles on the road right now that are continuously feeding training data back to Tesla. What evidence is there that this is insufficient, or even deficient? From what I can gather, Waymo has limited testing geofenced to Phoenix, Arizona. Tesla has cars all over the world with autopilot, all providing training data.
I don’t see a reason for your conviction that Waymo has an advantage here.
So you have a lot more Teslas sending a lot less data each. I'm not sure which company has the richer training set.
Are they?
- they could store data to be collected in bulk when the car is in the garage for maintenance or servicing or repair.
- Superchargers could include fast data transfer in their cable for cars using them.
- Superchargers could include a wireless data collection from cars sopped at or near them.
- Cars could connect to public wifi to upload data at any car park, any place, any time.
- Tesla could have vehicles driving around, like Google mapping cars, collecting data wirelessly from nearby Teslas.
I don't know if they do any of them, but none are unreasonable things for companies of 2019 to think about doing.
It is already full self driving in some cities, whereas my Tesla cannot even detect stop signs.
I love my Tesla but I harbor no illusions about the eventual victor of this self-driving race.
