Tesla AI Watch posted an update
Tesla is developing its own mapping and navigation system, using data gathered by its vehicle fleet to support Full Self-Driving, Indonesian outlet VOI reports. The company’s AI chief, Ashok Elluswamy, reportedly said the first features are planned for FSD version 15, covering the start and end of journeys.
Why it mattersVOI says Tesla expects to add more navigation and parking functions later. That would give Tesla more control over map data used by its driver-assistance system, though the report does not establish how accurate the new maps will be or when the wider features will arrive. The report’s available version is machine-translated, so its roadmap details deserve a little breathing room. Still, the shift towards maps built from Tesla fleet data is a concrete development in the company’s AI driving effort.
Discuss: Should a driver-assistance system rely more on maps built from its own fleet, or is that too much trust in one company’s data?
