Elon Musk says autonomous driving, when the cars won't even come with steering wheels or acceleration pedals, is 'very close'.
Elon Musk says Tesla is"very close" to developing a completely autonomous driving system, the basics of which he is confident will be completed before the end of the year.said the company had solved most of the problems associated with so-called Level 5 autonomous driving - when no human interaction is needed.CEO said, adding:"There are no fundamental challenges."There are considered to be six levels of autonomous driving, starting at zero.
When driving in autopilot, a Tesla is able to steer as well as control acceleration - but a human is needed to sit behind the steering wheel to take control at any time.There have been a number of car crashes associated with drivers using Tesla's autopilot feature when not paying attention to the road - two of which are being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board in the US.
