Part 4/14:
Elon's expectations for the new FSD model include leaps in safety and efficiency. He envisions improved pothole detection, better parking maneuvers, and enhanced navigation in street scenarios—like dealing with chaotic airport environments or crowded streets. These advances will make Tesla vehicles smoother, more confident, and capable of higher speeds, although regulatory hurdles currently limit deployment.
Tesla aims to operate over 100 autonomous Teslas for ride-hailing in the Bay Area, potentially revolutionizing urban mobility. While the terminology 'taxi' is restricted in California, Elon clarified the goal: allowing anyone to request a ride from these autonomous vehicles, with full autonomy being a key focus for Tesla.
