According to @aelluswamy, Tesla's VP of AI, in his latest ICCV 2024 presentation, Tesla leverages its global vehicle fleet to collect the equivalent of 500 years of driving data daily, giving it a significant data advantage in autonomous vehicle AI development (Sawyer Merritt, 2025). The curse of dimensionality is tackled by compressing billions of tokens generated from 8 high-frame-rate cameras into essential correlations between sensor input and control actions. Tesla’s smart data triggers capture rare driving scenarios, ensuring robust model training beyond routine highway driving. The company’s custom Gaussian splatting system enables rapid, high-fidelity 3D scene reconstruction for enhanced debugging and interpretability, while natural language querying allows engineers to examine model decisions. Tesla also introduced a proprietary neural video simulator that can generate fully synthetic multi-camera data for reinforcement learning and adversarial testing, supporting iterative model improvement and real-world robustness. These advancements are paving the way for Tesla's global robotaxi rollout, the Cybercab two-seater, and even humanoid robots powered by the same neural networks, opening new business opportunities in mobility and robotics (ICCV 2024, YouTube).

According to @SawyerMerritt, Tesla's Q3 2025 earnings call will focus on critical AI-driven business queries, including detailed Robotaxi metrics such as fleet size, cumulative miles, completed rides, and intervention rates. Investors will seek updates on the timeline for removing safety drivers and the obstacles preventing full self-driving (FSD) deployment to customers, which are pivotal for scaling autonomous vehicle operations (source: @SawyerMerritt, Oct 21, 2025). The call will also address AI energy storage opportunities amid the current boom, exploring Tesla's plans to supply power to hyperscale data centers using Megapack and Powerwall technologies. Discussion will extend to the development of AI-powered humanoid robot Optimus, focusing on software, hardware engineering, and supply chain challenges for market readiness. Additionally, the $16.5B Samsung semiconductor deal will be scrutinized for its impact on Tesla's AI autonomy stack and confidence in Samsung's ability to deliver advanced chips for FSD hardware, with direct implications for Tesla's AI-driven product roadmap and competitive positioning in the autonomous mobility and energy sectors.
