Tesla has been working on fully autonomous driving for a long time. Although the CEO of the company, Elon Musk, has made various claims so far, most of his promises have not come true yet. Elon Musk has now made a much more serious claim.
Elon Musk marks the end of the year for Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous driving
Explaining that they will reach the level of fully autonomous driving without human supervision by the end of the year, Elon Musk stated that this technology can be called Level 4 or Level 5. The gap between Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous driving technologies caused Elon Musk’s words to be met with a question mark.
Technically speaking, there is a huge difference between Secviye 5 autonomous driving technology and Level 4. Level 5 autonomous driving, unlike Level 4, can control autonomy in all weather and road conditions. While there is such a serious difference, this explanation of Elon Musk has started to be discussed by experts.
Toyota eliminates the range problem for electric cars!
Toyota is making plans to eliminate the range problem of electric cars with its new battery technology.
We think it’s a little premature to talk about Level 5 driving, as the sensors of Tesla’s FSD Beta drive system warn drivers of the weather and prompt them to take control. That’s why it seems a little utopian for Elon Musk to target the end of the year for Level 4 or Level 5 autonomous driving.
We can say that Tesla is in a very good position in terms of Level 3 autonomous driving with the FSD Beta. However, the fact that this system leaves control to the driver in certain situations indicates that there is still time for Level 4 and Level 5.
Elon Musk and Tesla have previously given dates for fully autonomous driving, and the promises have not come true. The company maintains its claim that every car sold as of 2016 will offer future software updates to fully autonomous driving at a safer level than humans.
Let’s see if Elon Musk will be able to start offering fully autonomous driving technology in his vehicles by the end of the year, as he claims. So what do you think about Tesla and fully autonomous driving systems? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
