Tesla routinely gets data from the fleet and analyzes it. Here is Andre Karpathy speaking on this subject:

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.

Unless Teslas are uploading gigabytes every night over your home WiFi (do they?) they're limited by a 4G connection.

So you have a lot more Teslas sending a lot less data each. I'm not sure which company has the richer training set.

they're limited by a 4G connection

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.

Hundreds of thousands. The 200k mark only in US was achieved more than 1 year ago, and it triggered the phase out of the incentives. For the last couple of quarters Tesla has been delivering almost 100k vehicles so it won’t be that long to reach the 1 million mark globally.
