Didn't they need the data from the 200 million miles or so from actual driving before they could get to the generative model though? Data isn't everything, as you point out with Telsa (mainly because they decided to forego using l

Sometimes the why is discovered when you try to change the code to what you think it should be and see it fall down in some cases you didn't anticipate or some other system is affected. It's often really hard to find out the why b
