Chuck said it in a Youtube video. He was showing his drone camera and said, "That absolutely looks like manual driving there". This was back in December.
Yea I don't know why this is so difficult to understand. Perhaps during testing, the driver had to disengage and complete the maneuver manually? And maybe they're trained to constantly keep their hands on the wheel as if they're manually driving? Also, "looks like manual driving" doesn't mean I know it is?
No one *knew* it was gathering training data. There was speculation, but as I and chuck posted, it was guesswork because Tesla and Elon never mentioned or confirmed it.
In the context of a million car fleet, it still doesn't make sense for them to hire manual drivers for data. It really only makes sense in context of the 0mph stops.
