Tesla has announced that it is open to sell its collected data to any automaker. While it is unclear who else will be the provider of valuable data now, possessing such information is critical.
Sebastian Thurn of Google has explained the machine learning activities done by google here.
The data collected is then analysed to discern value out of it. Google has already been vocal of its methods used in machine learning. Given the availability of hardware at albeit a high price & the research activity in machine learning, all car makers are attempting to enter the self driving race in a substantial manner.
It is clear by now that self driving cars are a reality and increasingly the value delivered in the automobile industry is going to be software driven. This trend enables entrepreneurs to enter into the field of automobile just like personal computer & internet did.
Thus self driving cars are going to be a reality within 10 years and it is going to create a profound impact on the economics of the entire world. Mapping will be one of the key differentiators in the service offered, the safety & reliability provided by automakers and other innovative providers of mobility.
