This was the standard image I used for all image processing in college. It's like the teapot model in 3D modeling. Or "hello world" and "foo" and "bar" in programming. Or "lorem ipsum" in digital layout.

No they didn't. They show traffic info from Waze in Google Maps, but the navigation is still the old one, not the Waze one.
The difference is that Musk doesn't have the knowledge and skill to do it.
It's not like they planned to make it the standard test image. Just a bunch of guys working on something looking for a quick test image and grabbing the first thing they found.
Such a small section of the original image and at such low resolution would be pretty petty to shut down for copyright infringement. Especially since it was not used for profit, but for scientific research.
