Does anyone know if tech like OpenCV is used at companies developing their own "computer vision" product, maybe at Tesla? Or do they build their own technology from scratch which isn't available to public domain? Or do they say fork OpenCV and build upon it and heavily modify as OpenCV could be seen as 'outdated' technology.

Disclaimer: Never worked with any technology related to Computer Vision, just a bloodboy beginner Python programmer.

Used to work on Tesla Vision / Autopilot Vision. They used Caffe, were switching to Tensorflow when I left, but might be moving to Caffe2 now.

Usually no OpenCV on successful products. Facebook Ads has dedicated research engineers implementing their real time photo analysis algorithms.
