When asked about why there's still no coast-to-coast with FSD demo, Elon Musk said he could game the system by writing the programming code for a specific trip but he prefers to wait for the system to work everywhere.
Yes, when you complain about an imperfection such as this incident in this thread, Tesla can write some codes to correct this specific scenario and specific location but that won't help with the next mile with a sharp curve. Someone then has to complain about the sharp curve and Tesla could write some more codes to correct that scenario as well.
Instead of relying on drivers with the loudest complaint, I think Tesla relies on its Artificial Intelligence method.
I think Tesla subscribes to
nVidia way as described below:
"In contrast to the usual approach to operating self-driving cars, we
did not program any explicit object detection, mapping, path planning or control components into this car. Instead, the car
learns on its own to create all necessary internal representations necessary to steer, simply by
observing human drivers.
The car successfully navigates the construction site while freeing us from creating specialized detectors for cones or other objects present at the site. Similarly, the car can drive on the road that is overgrown with grass and bushes without the need to create a vegetation detection system. All it takes is about
twenty example runs driven by humans at different times of the day. Learning to drive in these complex environments demonstrates new capabilities of deep neural networks.
The car also learns to generalize its driving behavior. This video includes a clip that shows a car that was
trained only on California roads successfully driving itself in
New Jersey ."
If human programmers don't need to write programs anymore, then why doesn't everyone subscribe to that model?
The danger for letting the machine taking over the work of human programmers is: Human programmers may not understand why the machine wrote those lines and that potentially means human loses the control of programming itself!
Tesla is very aggressive to implement the transition from human coding to machine taking over the coding:
