(cont'd from yesterday's post)
To take their factory production of cars from 50k (2015) to a crazy 500k by 2018 (or 2020) is a challenge, but it hasn't slowed down another of Tesla's important features: their progress on the self-driving program.
Autopilot Full Self Driving will be available for all models by the end of this month. More cameras and more sensors capture much more data so there's a new processor:
"To make sense of all of this data, a new onboard computer with over 40 times the computing power of the previous generation runs the new Tesla-developed neural net for vision, sonar and radar processing software. Together, this system provides a view of the world that a driver alone cannot access, seeing in every direction simultaneously, and on wavelengths that go far beyond the human senses."

According to the website, your Tesla will sync with your calendar to know where you want to go when you get in the car (if you don't tell it otherwise). Then when you get there, just get out while the car parks itself.
"[I]rrestible to the status-conscious buyer," according to Automotive News.
