Just a few days after launch Robotaxi service limited to Austin in TexasTesla pulled an extra stunt to show the progress of her self-driving car software. The agency lets make a model y suv Drive about 15 miles of car From Tesla factory to the apartment complex from the factory, the CEO called CEO Elon Mask the first “autonomous distribution” of the vehicle.
The car was equipped with the same software that Tesla is using the Robotuxi model YS Austin, but delivery is downgrade to commercially full self-drive software for which drivers need to pay attention and to be ready to take responsibility at any moment. No one was on the board and the musk claimed that the car was not given any remote assistance.
The stunt came to a good time for Tesla, which is about the second-quarter supply statistics this week and the financial results later this month. These are the numbers Is expected to be fatal for TeslaWhich Sales declined in 2024 – a before taking the musk Chainso in the company’s public image Became involved with the administration of the Trump. Certainly, Tesla’s share price is first post about the drive on Friday night (though it is about Monday’s business roughly day).
I lived in the city and driven this area a lot in South Austin; The path that Model Wi took was complicated, even in the middle of the afternoon to a bright, sunny day. In the 30 -minute video of the trip (Tesla also posted A speed-up version It lasts about 3.5 minutes), the car is with a highway and closed, rotating right right, navigates a small quarter and creates a protected left bend.
They were a challenging situation for advanced autonomous vehicles a few years ago, so a car was surprised to see all of them once navigated in real daily traffic.
Tesla can not only deal with this mixture of highways and surface roads. Wemo vehicles are driving on the highways in Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco (still for employees), even the zoos have given us a driverless journey to the zoo In January Las Vegas is a mixture of 45 miles-hour-long roads and side roadsThe
Although the Tesla video of the drive is straight, it inspires a list of questions. One of the biggest preparations of Tesla before giving this car through the factory door.
This is a relevant question because Tesla has been released famously and promoted A video of a vehicle is probably driving with bay area (With an employee acting as a protection operator in the driver’s seat) It was above all, misleading and worst, originally staged in 20 2016.
At that time, Tesla seemed to the drive effortlessly. However, the company was pre-map and tried multiple times before the drive displayed in the video, with the car to take control of the protection operator. Tesla Engineer Ashok Eluswamy says in a 2022 Statement “The intention of the video was not properly depicted for customers in the 2016 2016. It was to depict what was possible on the system.”
Was also musk Closely engaged in creating those videosThe
Tesla has been spotted using vehicles Leader And in the region of South Austin, other external sensors where limited robotuxi trials are being done – was these vehicles used to prepare this special drive? We asked Tesla, but the company no longer respond to media requests.
Also, can Tesla software run this route safely a few times without intervention (car or remote)? A few hundred times? Thousands? This is an achievement once done, but it is the final test of whether it is the ability to repeat this type of drive and the ability to secure it is the ability to securely.
What’s more, this customer lives in the shadow of the mask a lot of big promises made at once (though in 20 2016, though he repeated it over the years) how Tesla’s self-driving software will be able to take a car New York City from Los Angeles without any interventionThe
We still don’t know much about how well the things are still going on and how to make a scale of things that are still going on, as in the early Robotaxy Examination.
One thing that seems significant is the worst criticism of Tesla’s FSD software, one of the most outstanding critic Dan Odo Delivery Drive, can up to TechCrunch that the car eventually stops in a fire lane outside the new customer’s apartment. A fair criticism, however, a secondary guy who was coming from the company who was Puff Just a few weeks ago in front of the model Y SUVS.
