Tuesday's post last week reported that Quarter 3 of 2019 was good news for Tesla Motors. But there was also news of a different kind.
For years Elon Musk has been talking about a fleet of "robotaxis," consumer-owned Tesla cars available for taxi service . . without drivers. Because they are fully autonomous, waiting only for government regs to catch up: Level 5, which means no human supervision needed. He claimed they had the "full self-driving" features completed.
But there were no more claims of "full self-driving" (as Tesla calls it) in his earnings call last month. In answer to a question, Elon said that human supervision is still necessary.
Not only are governmental regulations not in place yet, but cars coming out of production now still do not have that "level of autonomy that Tesla was claiming for itself three years ago!"
The software for Level 5 just isn't there yet.
