Meanwhile driverless pizza deliveries continue unopposed........lol
In a very limited market on a system that actually works. LIDAR is far superior to Tesla's cameras in every way.
Again, that's why no other manufacturer has ever dared call their systems "auto pilot". They work the same way that Tesla's systems work and are nowhere near capable of autonomous driving.
Elon Musk literally makes things up as he goes along. His full "self driving ability" was supposed to be out over a year ago so people could create a fleet of Tesla self driving taxis and put people like Uber and Lyft out of business.
Not only did it never happen, he keeps putting it off as if it actually will happen.
Here is Musk a year ago blaming regulatory people:
Has Elon Musk Set Up Regulatory Boogeyman As Scapegoat For Ongoing Delay In Promise Of Self-Driving Teslas?

Here he is just last month saying that it would be released mid May:

Just yesterday, he put it off for months.
Boss Elon Musk said Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) is tweaking its self-driving software to eliminate a phantom braking problem and may release a significantly improved version within the next couple of months.

It's always a story with him. And here comes the payoff - even his alleged "full blown auto pilot" is not a full blown auto pilot.
In a tweet posted early Thursday morning, Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said that prices for the Full Self-Driving ("FSD") upgrade to Tesla vehicles

Here's the operative part of that article:
To be clear, Tesla’s definition for fully self-driving cars is different from a fully autonomous vehicle. As TechCrunch reported last year when the company unveiled the plans for the latest version of its autonomous driving package, Musk described multiple levels of Tesla’s assessment of self-driving tech, and specified that this meant cars are “able to be autonomous but requiring supervision and intervention at times.”
So the fact of the matter is, Tesla has no plans to have a truly autonomous update to its autopilot system. Ever. They never did. It's all just more Elon Musk bullshit that the Tesla cool aide drinking followers drink up like thirsting to death dogs that don't know any better.
