Tesla is crazy to not make full use of maps to improve ‘F’ self-driving
Almost every self-driving car team makes use of pre-computed maps, combined with what their sensors see, to help them understand the road and drive correctly and safely on it. Tesla is a rare exception, deprecating detailed maps and trying to use mostly navigation maps to do the job. While Tesla hopes this approach lets them drive “everywhere” without the effort of making and maintaining maps, because it doesn’t work yet, it means instead that they try to drive everywhere, but do it badly.
