According to an internal email from Tesla’s Autopilot team, the company is prioritizing data from vehicles owned by Elon Musk and other VIPs for its self-driving software development. The goal is to have a fully self-driving system ready by the end of 2024. The email states that data from VIP vehicles will be “prioritized over that of non-employees” to help improve the self-driving capabilities. This approach aims to leverage the driving patterns and routes of high-profile individuals to enhance the system’s performance. However, the email acknowledges that this prioritization could lead to potential privacy concerns. Tesla’s self-driving ambitions have faced scrutiny, with critics questioning the company’s ability to deliver on Musk’s promises within the stated timeline.
