Fully self-driving Teslas are coming in 2017, no 2018, sorry 2019, actually 2020…
Elon Musk really, really, really wants to make a car that will drive itself without a human behind the wheel. In fact, he’s already done it! At least, that’s what he reported in 2015.
Musk said totally autonomous Teslas would be ready by the end of 2017. Later, he promised to demonstrate the feature in 2018. In February 2019, Musk said Tesla will be “feature complete, full self-driving, this year. Meaning the car will be able to find you in a parking lot, pick you up and take you all the way to your destination without an intervention. This year. I would say I am of certain of that, that is not a question mark.”
Indeed, there wasn’t a question mark when Tesla added that promise to its website. And when the calendar rolled over to 2020, the promise of self-driving “coming later year” was still up. In January 2020, Musk said once again the tech would be “”feature complete” by the end of 2020, though he clarified that feature complete “doesn’t mean that features are working well.”
A few months later, Musk said a Tesla would be able to drive itself without a human in the car by 2021. In 2022, Tesla officially made “full self driving” available to any Tesla owner. However, your Tesla still can’t drive without you in the car. It is now 2023.
