“We are a car company we sell cars. We have machine learning for self driving”

“We are an AI company”.

It hasn’t always been an AI company. They are an automotive company suddenly shifting gears

I guess if you think AI and car are mutually exclusive. I would have described Tesla as an AI car company.

What AI products, except their broken self driving feature, does tesla sell?

Is every other manufacturer of cars with any self driving type functionality now an “AI” company to you?

Tesla has always invested heavily in their software. Just because it has always been shitty doesn’t diminish that it was an outsized part of their business model, especially compared to other car companies

Ugh you guys can be so deliberately obtuse. Yes, if a company makes revenue from an AI offering, and spends a significant amount of their money developing that AI offering then yes, it can be considered an AI company. Just because the feature is stupid or dangerous doesn’t invalidate that accounting.

Enjoy a little nuance from time to time.
