Elon Musk has made a surprise visit to China as he bids to shore up Tesla’s slumping sales and introduce the carmaker’s self-driving technology in its second biggest market in the face of ferocious competition. His second trip to the country in less than a year included a meeting Sunday with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, who praised Tesla as a “successful model” for US-China collaboration.
He said making FSD available in China has been “a key piece missing in the puzzle” for Tesla’s autonomous technology. But that’s not all. If Musk is able to obtain approval from Beijing to transfer data collected in China abroad, according to Ives, it would be a “game changer” in terms of the acceleration of training its algorithms for its autonomous technology globally.
