Tesla advances in autonomous driving tests on electric cars without human intervention (Instagram @teslamotors)
Tesla has taken an important step toward autonomous driving, with its electric cars now traveling 1.9 kilometers without human intervention.
The news was announced by Tesla AI, the company’s artificial intelligence branch, in a post on X. In the shared videos, the Model 3 and Model Y vehicles are seen leaving the Supercharger station and traveling the route to the pickup location at the Fremont factory in California.
Autonomous driving has been a major goal for Tesla, and this update is part of the development of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, an advanced driver assistance technology aimed at enabling driverless driving.
This breakthrough brings Elon Musk’s company closer to its goal of launching an autonomous taxi service, with the first robotaxi expected to launch in October this year.
After traveling the 1.9 kilometers autonomously, the cars are loaded onto trucks to be taken to delivery points. This advancement in autonomous driving technology reinforces Tesla’s position as a leader in artificial intelligence and driverless technology, both key areas for the company’s future.
