For full self-driving, Musk announced an ambitious timeline: having a truly self-driving car next year.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in an interview in Brazil on Friday that he expects Tesla to have a completely human-free car in about a year.
Musk is currently visiting South America. It met with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday to discuss using SpaceX technology to help provide internet to schools in rural areas of the country, among other issues, and to help monitor deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.
This isn't the first time Musk has made rhetoric. As early as December 2015, he predicted that he would achieve “full autonomy” within two years, but the schedule has since been readjusted several times.
But Musk's timeline isn't entirely impossible this time around, and Tesla is working hard to make it happen through its FSDBeta program.
In the previous earnings call, Musk claimed that Tesla FSD will make significant progress this year. It said that in order to solve the current problems of FSD, Tesla must fundamentally crack the artificial intelligence barriers in the real world, and must ensure that Tesla's neural network and camera functions are at least at the same level as humans, or even better than humans.
