Part 4/11:
Despite the optimistic outlook, Tesla still faces hurdles. Notably, current FSD systems, even in the latest versions, cannot reverse autonomously—a feature that remains missing. Industry analysts like Omar and others note that although Tesla's V13 will introduce many features needed for truly unsupervised driving, achieving Level 4 or 5 autonomy that is safer than human drivers is an ongoing challenge.
Tesla's target is to deliver a reliable, safer-than-human driverless experience by mid-2024, specifically by Q2. The recent improvements in FSD, including a fourfold increase in miles driven between necessary interventions, indicate progress, but full autonomy depends on solving complex edge cases, such as handling emergency vehicles and unpredictable traffic scenarios.
