Current and former Tesla workers say the company prioritizes data from Elon Musk's car and influencers' vehicles to improve its self-driving software.
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic; iStock; Rebecca Zisser/BI Tesla gives special treatment to data from VIPs, including Elon Musk, when training its self-driving AI. Current and former staff say they were told to work on routes Musk drove as well as influencers. Experts say it means Tesla's resources toward self-driving vehicles are being unevenly distributed. Tesla's self-driving cars seem like a marvel of machine learning.
However, one former worker said there was no way for any of the labelers to know with certainty whether the clip belonged to any one driver, adding that anyone who thinks they know the owner of the car would be operating on "pure speculation." Representatives for Tesla and Musk did not reply when reached for comment. Tesla influencers also get extra attention Musk isn't the only driver that gets special treatment.
