Musk: Tesla Autopilot will be fully autonomous "soon"

According to foreign media reports, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company's Autopilot system will soon be able to support traffic lights, stops and roundabouts, and have full autonomous driving capabilities. In recent months, Tesla has rewritten the neural network for its Autopilot system so that it can deploy more advanced driver assistance functions.

When the company released Autopilot 2.0 two years ago, it promised that this more advanced driver assistance feature would be part of version 2.0.

Tesla then released "Navigate on Autopilot," which shows lane changes on highways, off ramps, and overpasses. Tesla sees Navigate on Autopilot as an important step toward autonomous driving on highways without a driver.

Tesla said: "The initial feature requires the driver to confirm the lane change using the turn stalk before entering the adjacent lane, but future versions of Navigate on Autopilot will let the driver choose to automatically change lanes without confirmation. However, until true self-driving is verified and approved by regulators, the driver in both cases must always be responsible for the car and in control of the car at all times."

On December 9th local time, Musk praised this feature on Twitter and said that more features will be coming soon.

Currently, the Autopilot system serves highway driving because it cannot handle stop lights and traffic lights, but Tesla is testing neural networks that can recognize stop lights and traffic lights and the car can take action based on stop lights and traffic lights.

With this additional function, Autopilot will perform better on urban roads and even approach fully autonomous driving. Musk said that he has tested the most advanced version of Autopilot on his Model S car, and it can achieve fully autonomous driving from home to work.

It is not clear when Musk means full self-driving will be achieved "soon", but recently he has been saying that all driving modes will include "self-driving" by the end of next year. Tesla's fully self-driving system requires a new neural network computer to achieve this and will go into production in the first half of 2019.

In the short term, Musk said Tesla's autopilot summon feature has made significant improvements. By the end of this year, Tesla owners will be able to remotely control their cars via their phones (like a remote control car). At the same time, Tesla's autopilot is still a Level 2 driver assistance system, and the driver still needs to stay alert and be ready to take over the vehicle at any time.
