Tesla Elon Musk Managing Director said His company will start offering public walks in vehicles without a driver in Austin, Texas on June 22, which will mark the beginning of the robot’s long service.
This date could shift because Musk claimed that Tesla “is extremely paranoid for security”. Tesla Model Y SUVs have been detected in the last days and weeks Tested around Austin No drivers in the seat. Bloomberg News previously stated that Tesla was Launched Watch on June 12 of the service.
Musk has spent years claiming that Teslas will be able to lead himself. In 2019, he claimed that Tesla would launch a robot service in 2020, which would include 1 million driver vehicles. This never happened.
Instead, Tesla has passed the past years that have been repeated in the software that calls for full self-guidance (FSD), which requires drivers to pay attention to the road and ready to take over at any time. This software is under investigation by the National Road Traffic Safety Service, as it is allegedly involved in multiple crashes during low visibility conditions, including one where a pedestrian was killed.
Musk has argued that Tesla has developed FSD at such a point that it no longer has to be supervised. This new version of Tesla’s FSD software is the one that supplies vehicles in Austin. And calf claimant On Tuesday that “every tesla coming out of our factories is capable of driving without supervision.”
These claims come with warnings, though. The small fleet of vehicles – about 10 to start, according to Musk – will be ridiculous in the “safest” areas of Austin, according to Musk. Teslas has also been repeatedly identified A particular neighborhood in the southeast AustinProbably collecting data to create a smoother experience.
This is a big change in the approach from how Musk spent years talking about the FSD to be a general-purpose self-guiding solution that would work in any location without human supervision. The Tesla process now looks more like the way Waymo – which now manages a romance business in many US cities – is increasing its service to new locations.
Also, Musk’s claim on the new Teslas that is able to execute without driving supervision represents a significant change from his promise in 2016 that all the cars of the company had the material needed to fully self-guide. This was not true. Tesla has gone through multiple versions of FSD hardware in its vehicles in years since then and Musk admitted in January that millions of these cars would need upgrade to run current software. It is not clear Whether this type of upgrade is still possible.
