Worldwide: number of cars collecting autonomous driving data, by operator
Over the past few years, Tesla has expanded its efforts to build fully autonomous road vehicles. This has resulted in them holding the major share of operational cars that are collecting data for autonomous driving use, at a total of 2.7 million. This could be data regarding recorded road accidents or problems with the autopilot system. The second most significant participant in data collection was Xpeng with 270,000 cars. Finally, Waymo, Baidu, Pony and Cruise show significantly smaller fleet sizes collecting data, ranging from 1,000 to as low as 300 cars.
