I know Tesla is banking on "no HD maps, car should act upon what it sees" but IMHO this is unnecessarily restrictive. It also is not like we humans drive ... we mostly drive on roads we know and drive daily so we also use our memory.
Car(s) should remember what it saw happened at certain coordinates and use that memory to its advantage.
Not to drive more blindly but safer ... "yesterday my actions caused emergency braking at this corner, today I'll go slower"
Tesla DOES use maps, in pretty much the way you describe (although individual cars do not learn independently, nor would we want them to).
What it doesn't do is rely on HD maps for precise driving scripts like Waymo.
