Tesla is already collecting large amounts of data from vehicle owners in its fully self-driving beta test fleet.
It is already releasing a new update updated in the release earlier this week.
Connectivity has been a key feature of Tesla’s offering fur in the auto industry.
It not only enables many fun and useful features for customers, but Tesla is also using connectivity to collect data from the fleet and improve features – primarily op topilot.
Releasing the Aut Topilot update back in 2017, Tesla asked owners for authorization to collect videos from op Topilot cameras.
After that, Tesla opened the floodgates of op topilot data aggregation.
Data collection is voluntary for Tesla customers, but most owners are more willing to let Tesla collect data as the automaker uses the data to power its neural network to autopilot and now complete self-driving systems.
Tesla can detect when drivers interfere with drivers during topilot operations and send data back to the mother to help improve the neural network.
It’s also now true that Tesla has begun rolling out its full self-driving beta update this week.
Tesla owners can monitor their WiFi connection to know when and how much data Tesla pulls from their car
Currently, there are only a few Tesla owners in the limited release of the FSD Beta, but one of them managed to monitor his car’s connection a day after driving and capture Tesla’s data collection.
He says he saw Tesla pull 4 gigabytes of data from his car:
Significant amounts of data are pulled from those vehicles and it looks like Tesla is already pushing for improvements in less than a week after announcing an update to the vehicles in its customer fleet.
Tesla has begun making a new update (2020.40.8.11) for vehicles on the FSD beta limited release.
Take the electric
I wouldn’t be surprised if customers didn’t even double the number of vehicles with the FSD build in a limited release, but there’s still a lot more data to collect.
I think Tesla will use this current data collection collection with a smaller fleet corresponding to its data aggregation before opening beta release in a larger fleet.
Tesla owes its huge fleet to a huge fleet of thousands of sensor-equipped vehicles, but a lot has been said about the data as important as the quality of the data.
Tesla needs to have an effective way of feeding relevant data to improve its neural nets.
I think that’s what we’re looking at right now.
