"Though controversial, Tesla’s use of such so-called fleet learning is exciting and will allow the technology to progress much faster, said Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor at the University of South Carolina who has written extensively on driverless-car liability. Tesla’s growing fleet of autopilot-enabled cars -- at least 90,000 -- are driving roughly 1.5 million miles each day.
“Tesla is actually using its customers as trainers,” Smith said via e-mail Sunday. “These drivers will teach not only their own vehicle but also all of the other Tesla vehicles on the road to correctly recognize roadway objects.”"
