Musk has been trying to make grand announcements and grab headlines lately. Seems probable this is to distract from recent bad sales news about Tesla, as in the past when he’s pulled lame stunts like “fight mark zuckerberg” right after negative news, knocking it out on f the public attention.

Anyhow, this can’t be the “robotaxi” feature he was promising years ago for all teslas because it’s not legal in most places. There have already been automatic taxi services in a few cities in the SW US, but they’re restricted to specific routes, and there have been problems. Was is expanding to do UberEats deliveries in Arizona, but Cruise had to pull all of their cars of the roads not long ago.

Anyway, I find it unlikely anything very revolutionary is coming from Tesla in this regard. If they do have a full autonomous system, they owe it to Tesla owners who have spent well over 10 grand a piece for a system that doesn’t hold up to what Elron promised years ago.
