Part 3/14:
Elliwami began by recapping Tesla's rollout of its robotaxi service in Austin around June/July of the current year. Using Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta—powered by neural networks and cameras—vehicles now operate completely autonomously in controlled environments like highways and city streets, with no human in the passenger seat.
He spotlighted a remarkable feat: self-driving Teslas being dispatched directly from the factory to consumers, navigating highway, city, and parking lot scenarios. The consistency of Tesla’s vehicles successfully driving themselves, thanks to production-grade cameras and neural networks, showcases Tesla’s high level of engineering.
