The third richest businessman in the world Elon Musk: file photo
After postponing his visit to India, Tesla owner Elon Musk is reported to have arrived in Beijing, China. According to a Reuters report, Musk may discuss the rollout of Tesla’s full self-driving (FSD) software with executives here.
Apart from that, Musk may also discuss permission to transfer data collected in China abroad to train the software’s algorithms. FSD is trained from videos collected from the cars of millions of Tesla customers.
Tesla Autopilot team member Dhaval Shroff explains that we process massive amounts of data about how real human drivers have performed in complex driving situations. We then train a computer neural network to mimic this.
