I dont think the Tesla team needs huge amounts of real world data for autopilot only. It should be simple, Just keep the vehicle in between the white lines.
It's not like FSD. So here are some thoughts of why autopilot is not yet functional on the CT :
1. Software programming is complicated because of the variable ratio steering.
2. There is triple redundancy (I've heard it stated) in the steer by wire motors which further complicates the software algorithm.
3. The best redundancy is accomplished by dissimilar control actuators (the SBW motors) which further complicates the programming.
4. The Tesla team is probably running auto pilot in the background on all the CTs on the road now. Testing it out without actually sending the signal to the SBW motors. What a fantastically large test bed.
5. I have a feeling that Tesla will roll out auto-pilot with the FSD package later after auto-pilot software is proven to work...... and with a bigger price tag.
I look forward to ya'lls thoughts.
