following the chip giant's quarterly earnings release. Huang pointed to Tesla's autonomous vehicle technology, claiming the company is"far ahead" of its competition.
Uh It's it's safer, it's more convenient, it's more, more fun to drive and in order to do that, uh it is now very well known, very well understood that learning from video directly is the most effective way to train these models.We would say this is a, this is a car, you know, this is a car, this is a sign, this is a road and we would label that manually.And for more, let's bring in auto blog editor in chief Greg Migliori for his reaction, Greg, great to see you.
And I think you'll see existing autonomous driving systems like Tesla's full self driving as well as other programs like General Motors has a feature called Super Cruise I think you'll see those systems get increasingly more powerful and then you'll see some of the features.Uh those features that are a little more like tertiary but still important, get more powerful and more helpful to the consumer.
I think the reason he took so much criticism earlier in the year is there is skepticism around self driving cars.And I think Elon is trying to bring this to the masses, which is a much tougher case to make great. I think consumers in the market were more willing to accept just details on the model too or a lower cost model, which is in my mind, kind of a safer play.So, I mean, naturally Elon Musk does something totally different.So I think uh he needs to kind of bring together all these parts of his plan in the next probably 6 to 8 months.
But I think in the next year he needs to really bring it all together because the results, the sales figures they've been pretty uneven.Vehicles, Greg Miglio, we've got a lot for Tesla to ultimately deliver here going forward. -- Cheap electric vehicles from China are already pushing into Europe, undercutting one of the region’s biggest industries. BYD Co., which overtook Tesla Inc. late last year as the biggest global EV maker, is about to raise the stakes.
