Tesla's deal with Baidu isn't new, the mapping data Tesla will collect likely can't leave China, and Full Self-Driving can't compete with more advanced Chinese alternatives

They might be willing to make concessions to get him to leave the country. Ideally for us he stays there indefinitely. Nobody wants him around any more.

I have a feeling this might be like the Hertz deal. A quick deal by Musk to save the stock price, but that is going to wreck Baidu in the long term.

Edit - never mind, I actually read the article. So Tesla is licensing map data from Baidu? I wonder what caused that.

The Modi snub seems significant. It will be interesting to see how that works out. I wonder if that was an intentional power move by China.
