Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently stated on social media platform : currently about 72.4 billion RMB).
The remarks stemmed from an electric vehicle supporter’s speculation about the training process of Tesla’s Autonomous Driving Assistance System (FSD). The training of Tesla’s autonomous driving technology has been attracting attention, especially after the company announced that its FSD fleet has accumulated After driving more than 1 billion miles.
When Tesla Musk responded to netizens on the X platform, he pointed out that Tesla’s cumulative investment in training computing, data pipelines and video storage this year will exceed 10 billion US dollars.
“Achieving universal self-driving is staggeringly difficult and requires everything we describe above and more. This year alone, Tesla’s cumulative investment in training computing, massive data pipelines, and massive video storage will exceed $10 billion dollars. But that’s nothing compared to the roughly $250 billion worth of cars on the road equipped with Tesla-designed AI inference computers and trained by drivers,” Tesla Musk wrote.
While the numbers Tesla Musk mentioned for the X platform are huge, considering Tesla has produced more than 6 million vehicles to date, the investment is well worth it. Tesla plans to invest $10 billion in self-driving this year, and considering that FSD has already generated some (albeit limited) revenue, this investment is also considered a reasonable use of resources.
