When and then after it being feature complete, how long until the march of 9s become reliable enough for usage?
According to Tesla, they will be feature complete later this year. Based on everything we know, I definitely think that will happen. In terms of how long until the march of 9's, that is harder to know. Personally, I think Musk is too optimistic about that part. However, I do think that the growth of the Tesla fleet and the increasing amount of data that Tesla can collect as a result, will help Tesla achieve that march of 9's faster. The big problem with the march of 9's is that there is just so many edge cases out there, probably millions and millions. If your fleet is small, you are just not going to do enough driving miles in enough different locations to see all those edge cases in a timely manner. That is the advantage that Tesla has. They have an every growing huge fleet of cars driving on lots of different roads in different areas. When you have hundreds of thousands of cars around the world all collecting data and sending it back to the machine for learning, like Tesla does, you are much more likely to encounter all those edge cases quicker. So I don't think it will take years and years for Tesla to complete the march of 9's.
