Data is king when it comes to autonomous driving tech. Last time I checked Tesla had over a billion miles driven (may have passed 2 billion by now) in real world environment. Google has the second most data collected with 2-3 million miles driven which is orders of magnitude lower than Tesla. Not even gonna mention Ford.

Also Tesla is the only company that has the hardware setup for full autonomy to achieve level 5 on a production car. They are just working on software. Any other company couldn't even theoretically have level 5 autonomy even if they had the software ready to go

Tesla doesn't have billions of miles of data. You have been lied to and you bought it Hook line and sinker. The data Tesla collect are high precision map based on Gps logging and radar blacklist for false positives.

All that data is useless for anything other than level 2.

You're a portrait of the Tesla hype. But I don't blame you

And yet, aren't they -removing- hardware? And as a result, a whole new slew of their autopilot getting _worse_ is hitting the Internet. And some of those are really embarrassing - sunny day but not blinding brightness, clear line markings and the car will just veer into the oncoming lane, or entirely off road with little to no warning.
