Imagine this: a Tesla Model Y, with no driver, no passengers, and no remote control, drove itself from the factory in Texas to the home of its new owner, navigating parking lots, highways, and city streets all on its own! Yes, you read that right! Tesla has just raised the bar for autonomous driving to a whole new level.
This electric vehicle reached a top speed of 72 miles per hour (about 116 km/h) during its roughly 30-mile solo journey. Ashok Elluswamy, head of Tesla’s AI autopilot division, confirmed that the car used the latest Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, relying on its own computing platform and a system of cameras and lidars.
Elon Musk had previously announced that the first autonomous car delivery would happen on June 28, but Tesla surprised the world by doing it a day early. This is not just a tech demo; it’s a clear sign that autonomous driving is not a distant future but already here!
Additionally, Tesla has launched a pilot robotaxi project in Austin, with about ten Model Y vehicles operating within a limited zone, supervised by Tesla employees for safety. The cost of a ride? A symbolic $4.20.
This is a revolution in transportation, and Tesla is leading the charge. Are you ready to hand over the wheel to a robot? Or are you still skeptical? Share your thoughts — maybe your comment will spark the next big debate!
