Elon Musk Highlights Data Deluge, Tesla Uses Less Than 1% Of Videos From Fleet To Train FSD

Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday reiterated the difficulty of managing data from its fleet of vehicles on Wednesday.

Tesla doesn’t store and deletes ‘almost all’ of its data from its fleet. “The training videos that matter are rare ones, like weird & busy intersections, so less than 1% of all videos,” Musk said on X, formerly Twitter.

According to an excerpt from Walter Isaacson‘s biography of Musk, Tesla has access to about 160 billion frames of video from its cars every day. These videos are used to train its full self driving (FSD) software and make it autonomous.

“Tesla is limited by AI training compute. Nvidia + Dojo fix it,” Musk added.

Why It Matters: Last week, Musk said that training compute will soon not be much of a limiting factor in scaling its full self-driving software. Tesla will use both NVIDIA and its own custom-built Dojo supercomputer to process the large amount of data from Tesla’s growing fleet of vehicles and train its FSD software, he said.

Last week, Tesla also activated the 10,000-unit Nvidia H100 GPU cluster, which Musk said is three times faster than the A100 in the company's tests.
