Tesla boss Elon Musk still believes in fully autonomous Tesla taxis in 2020.
He does not see the corona crisis as an obstacle, but legal concerns.
- Elon Musk builds on "Tesla Network"
- Politics as an obstacle to implementation
- Development not yet completed
In 2019, Tesla founder Elon Musk announced that Tesla's electric cars will
be able to drive fully autonomously by 2020. Musk continues to stick to this
plan even during the corona pandemic. This year, up to one million so-called
robotaxis will be on the streets.
"Tesla Network" as the basis:
The Californian carmaker already presented the idea of the "Tesla Network"
in 2016. The network provides that owners can send their vehicles on
autonomous taxi rides when they don't need it themselves. According to
Musk's calculations, every Tesla owner could make annual sales of around $
30,000. The Tesla would pay off on its own.
According to t3n magazine, Musk sees "regulators worldwide as the bottleneck
in the implementation of the autonomous Tesla fleet." Functionally, every
Tesla vehicle would be able to become part of the network. According to
information from t3n, all that is required is an over-the-air software
update.
Tesla takes a different path:
Musk focuses on making the cars self-driving primarily with cameras. A large
part of the industry, however, uses expensive laser radars. The existing
robot car software is trained by cars that are on the road.
Musk announced on Twitter that the functionality was very good this year.
According to the website golem.de, Tesla's on-board computer is considered
one of the best for autonomous driving. However, Tesla is still working on
the software for so-called full self-driving. Still, Tesla seems to be on
the right track.
In addition, the Tesla boss announced that in two years the American
automaker would build his vehicles without a steering wheel or pedals. It
remains to be seen whether Musk can achieve his goals.
