Tesla says its cars will help build maps for future navigation and driverless rides, but the report gives no results. Federal investigators have escalated a probe into its self-driving software, so this plan does not yet change Tesla's outlook.
Building its own maps could let Tesla shape navigation for its cars and future driverless rides. The report gives no results showing the system works better or is ready to replace existing maps. Federal investigators have also escalated a probe into Tesla's self-driving software, so this development does not yet change how we read the company.
Tesla says it is building its own maps, but the story says this is not evidence of a direct challenge to Google Maps as a consumer app. It reports no change to Alphabet's users or sales, so this news does not change its outlook.
