System And Method For Obtaining Training Data

Patent No. EP3850549 (titled "System And Method For Obtaining Training Data") was filed by Tesla on Sep 13, 2019. The application was issued on May 28, 2025.

Patent Summary

A vehicle-based processor system implements a method for neural network improvement by receiving sensor data, including images, and processing it via a neural network. A trigger classifier, trained on a remote system using a dataset of specific features of interest (e.g., edge-case objects), is applied to an intermediate neural network result to generate a classifier score. If the score exceeds a threshold, indicating the presence of the features of interest, the system transmits the sensor data to the remote system via a computer network. The remote system uses this data to train an updated neural network, which is then transmitted back to the vehicle. The vehicle subsequently utilizes the updated neural network to control the vehicle.
