Tesla is by far the most advanced in releasing an FSD package, announcing in early 2020 that it had completed over 5 billion kilometers of testing under autopilot, against just 2 million miles over the past two years by its nearest competitor Waymo (backed by Google).

By end of year 2022, we expect this to increase to 3 million. 1 00,000+ FSD Beta testers on road today. Competitors: Comma AI (50 million+ mi), Waymo (20 million+), Cruise (2... See more

Following its attribution algorithm, Delphia shares revenue generated by the data with users contributing to the dataset. This creates powerful alignment that has never existed before.

A token is a necessary element of a system if the use of any other in its place would damage the system’s normal functioning.
