Elon Musk says that Tesla\u2019s \u201cunsupervised self-driving begins,\u201d but as usual with the CEO\u2019s statements about self-driving, it\u2019s just \u201ccorporate puffery.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tesla has released a video showcasing that its vehicles coming out of Fremont factory can now drive themselves to the loading docks for transportation:<\/p>\n

Teslas now drive themselves from their birthplace at the factory to their designated loading dock lanes without human intervention<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not gonna lie. I don\u2019t want to hate on this because I think it is pretty cool. It\u2019s just not what was promised for years.<\/p>\n

Literally, Elon Musk said that Tesla would do a driverless cross-country drive by the end of 2018. It never happened. Then he said that by the end of every year since 2020, Tesla would enable unsupervised self-driving in Tesla vehicles. That also never happened.<\/p>\n

And now, he retweeted the above video, claiming that \u201cunsupervised self-driving begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tesla vehicles in this video drive 1.2 miles on private roads at low speeds around the factory. This is nothing more than what Tesla demonstrated on the private roads of the Warner Bros studio with the Robotaxi last year.<\/p>\n

This is clearly not the \u201cbeginning of unsupervised self-driving\u201d or at least, not in the way that Musk has promised Tesla FSD owners for years.<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s latest timeline is \u201cunsupervised self-driving in California and Texas around Q2 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

Again, I think this is cool. It is a fun and efficient way to transport vehicles to the loading docks, but that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has used FSD should know that this is not more impressive than FSD, and FSD is still years away from being ready to be unsupervised.<\/p>\n

I strongly believe that if FSD was developed in a vacuum without Elon\u2019s comments and Tesla selling it as a package with future upgrades, people would celebrate FSD has a great program. Instead, it\u2019s becoming a joke.<\/p>\n

You have Elon claiming that this is the \u201cbeginning of unsupervised self-driving\u201d and Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla\u2019s head of FSD, added: \u201cjust a matter of time before it\u2019s rolling on public roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, a matter of time. A long time while you sell this package to people promising it will happen by the end of the year. <\/p>\n
