it home reported on september 2 that tesla seems to be increasing data collection in certain areas of california, including near the venue where the robotaxi launch conference will be held.

x-user and longtime tesla tracker green (@greentheonly) spotted on sunday that tesla has increased data collection near warner bros. studios in burbank, california, where the company is reportedly hosting a robotaxi platform launch event. green also noticed increased data collection in other parts of california, such as nearby hollywood restaurants and supercharger construction sites, as well as in some parts of san francisco and the bay area.

as an example, green shared a screenshot of a warner bros. studio and the added data collection area.

green said data collection began about four days ago, but he knew little about plans for the robotaxi event itself at this point.

according to it home, tesla originally planned to hold a robotaxi launch conference on august 8, but the company has decided to postpone the event to october 10. elon musk said he requested "important design changes to the front", adding that "the extra time allows tesla to show some other things."

the upcoming robotaxi will be based on tesla's full self-driving (fsd), which, unlike other driverless ride-hailing companies, uses data from cars already on the road to help train an ai neural network, making the software increasingly safer and better at driving. tesla claims the software will be more scalable than that of competitors such as alphabet's waymo and gm's self-driving subsidiary cruise, which rely on pre-drawn maps.
