You're talking about a few different things, here.

  • AI could potentially use that info, yes. Teslas don't use AI to drive
  • Self driving cars do have the potential to be significantly safer, this is true. Telsa's cars, through a series of missteps, are not anywhere near that potential, and in fact are hazards on the road. This is bad for developing true self-driving cars!
  • The only obstacle to progress being discussed is covered by a picture of a road...

Pretty sure Teslas now do use AI to drive.

Regardless, they’re clearly doing a shit job.

I've actually driven one quite a lot and as a software engineer myself, I think it's amazing what they've accomplished. But it's certainly not ready to be unsupervised, and except on a near empty highway, I find it more work/stress to supervise it rather than just drive myself. Elon is an asshole and a liar and ill never buy another tesla while he's a shareholder, but the T3 is quite an amazing product.

I've seen some things suggesting they're testing it, I'm not seeing that they've deployed anything.

Honestly, I'd expect AI to make the same mistake as their current systems, though, for a similar reason

It's definitely what's in there now. It was a noticeable improvement when the change happened last year. The main thing for me was that it can now do round abouts! But I don't really let it drive in anything but simple situations as it's easier to drive than to monitor it.
