Tesla sends driverless Model Y from factory to customer to promote its robotaxi tech

A few days after starting a Austin, a limited Robotaxi Service in TexasTesla came out of an extra stunt designed to show the progress of its driving car program. The company left a model Y SUV Drive about 15 mph Tesla’s factory has completed the new “Autonomous delivery” of CEO Elon Musk, which is the newly “Autonomous delivery”, which CEO Elon Musk has completed.

The vehicle was equipped with the same program of the Robotaxi model of the Robotaxi, but after the delivery of the commercial-existing complete self-driving (controlled), which is ready to pay the attention of drivers. No one was shown in the car on the deck and the musk.

Stunt came a good time for Tesla, who missed delivery figures and financial results in the second quarter this week. Those numbers are It is expected to be Grim for Teslathis Sale I fell in 2024 – Before you get musk For the participation of the company company By dealing with the Trump Office. Of course, Tesla’s share price was taken on Friday after the first time MUSC’s first driver (although after a rough day of trade on Monday).

I lived in the city and I was very carried out by Southern Austin’s territory; The road next to the yena was even complex in a bright, in a sunny day in the middle of the afternoon. On the 30-minute video of the visit (placed in TESA) a sped-up version This, which lasts 3.5 minutes) The car is beside and extinguished, reduces red, continues to a small road circle and corrects the left turn.

These were difficult scenarios for the developed autonomous vehicles in developing several years, so it is surprising that all of a car walk on a road in one way.

Tesla is not the only one who can solve this mixture of highways and surface streets. Waymo Vehicles Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco (for workers so far) were driving on highways and even gave a driverless walk in Zoox 45 mph in Las Vegas in January and a mixture of side streets.

Although Tesla’s video is right, it inspires the list of questions. One of the largest preparations for the preparations prepared by Tesla before passing this car from the factory gate.

Tesla is a relevant question for being released and promoted famous The video of one of the cars he supposed to go through the Gulf region (With an employee operating as a security operator in the driver’s seat) in 2016, in the best way, in the worst case, essentially staged.

In this case, Tesla seemed to be trying to make this driver’s effort. However, the company has pre-mapped the route and before the driver specified in the video, the security operator has tried many times in the car that requires control. Tesla Engineer Ashok Elluswamy said in 2022 deposit “The purpose of the video was not to describe exactly what is available for customers in 2016. It was to describe what is possible to build the system.”

Musk was also that is close to the preparation of the video.

Tesla was noted using vehicles monument Other foreign sensors in the territory of South Austin were tried in Robotaxi – were the tools used to prepare this special driver? We asked Tesla, but the company does not meet the media inquiries.

Will the TESLA’s software can safely handle this route without interfering with this route or in car or remote)? Hundreds of times? Thousands? It is a success to do this once, but the ability to repeat and make such a driver is the last test of whether technology is reliable.

In addition, this client deliver driver once again repeated the Tesla’s self-ruling program, but repeatedly repeated it, even if he repeated it in 2016) With no intervention from Los Angeles to New York.

As in the early Robotaxi test, there are many things that work will be as good and how it will be for the scale of it.

Something that seemned something, the worst criticism of Tesla’s most ancient criticism, was able to grow on an email for the delivery driver, the car came to the fire strip outside the new customer’s apartment. A fair criticism, but a small man from a guy who was organized Hurry up child-sized dummies After a few short weeks before the model Y SUVs.
