Part 7/9:
Tesla is actively working towards achieving a fully autonomous driving experience—a lofty goal termed Level 5 autonomy. While not there yet, select customers are beta testing Tesla's full self-driving (FSD) software, which operates on city streets and highways with reduced driver input. Nonetheless, drivers are still required to maintain attentiveness, as mishaps can occur if the technology falters. This characteristic has prompted some skepticism among experts, including Waymo CEO, who believes Tesla may never reach true autonomy. Elon Musk, however, counters this with claims regarding Tesla’s superior AI hardware and software.
