Moreover, the company revealed computer hardware will be full self-driving capabilities in the form of the new microchip.
However, there still are technical and legal hurdles ahead for driverless cars, which currently are not deemed as sophisticated or roadworthy as cars with drivers, nor guarded enough for public roads.
Mr. Musk further added saying:
This seems to the custom-designed chip which is best accessible giving a notable breakthrough in self-driving.
However, Tesla’s vehicles still aren’t at the par of autonomy required to build the self-driven.
