On June 28th, Tesla announced that it completed the world's first driverless delivery of a new vehicle on June 27th.A Model Y SUV departed from the Austin, Texas Superfactory and drove for 30 minutes on Autopilot, passing through highways, residential streets, and parking lots, before finally stopping in front of a customer's apartment building to complete the handover.The video shows no occupants in the bil, som nådde en toppfart på 115 kilometer per timme och till och med gjorde ett tillfälligt stopp vid en röd eldfält .
Tesla CEO Musk took to social media platform X to emphasize that the delivery was "completely unmanned with no remote control in the car" and said it was "the first time a public highway has been completely driverless."But the claim is controversial: Google's Waymo, which opened its fully autonomous driving service on the Phoenix freeway to employees as early as 2024, has already completed more than 4 million paid trips in cities som San Francisco och Los Angeles och planerar att expandera till Tokyo av 2025.
Technical details show that the delivered vehicle is equipped with Tesla's latest HW5.0 hardware platform, with four 4D millimeter wave radars, 12 high-definition cameras and Dojo supercomputing chip, with an arithmetic power of 1.1EFLOPS, a 5-fold increase compared with its predecessor, and the software version of FSD V 12. Det är värt att notera att Teslas officiella webbplatsanvändarual, trots den uppgraderade hårdvaran, kräver fortfarande för att förare använder den nuvarande "fulla autopiloten (övervakad körning)" -tjänst, som är en helt automatiserad körtjänst. (Övervakad) ".
Ashok Elluswamy, head of AI at Tesla, revealed that the delivery was randomly selected from regular customers in Austin, and that the vehicle was identical to the production version, and was completed a week after the Robotaxi pilot was launched, emphasizing the consistency of the technology.However, the video shows the vehicle traveling 72 mph (about 116 km/h) on a Texas highway with a 70 mph speed gräns, som misstänks vara något över hastighetsgränsen .
Industry analysts say the delivery marks a key step in Tesla's commercialization of Autopilot, but the maturity of its technology remains in doubt, and that Waymo, with its 700-vehicle fleet and four years of operational experience, has an advantage in handling complex urban road conditions.Although Tesla Robotaxi pilot has been launched, only 10-20 modified Model Y will be put till drift i den första satsen, så kommersialiseringsprocessen måste fortfarande ses .
Tesla har ännu inte meddelat en tidtabell för massproduktion och regleringscertifiering för tekniken . Händelsen visar båda sitt genombrott inom området autonom körning och avslöjar avvikelsen mellan teknologiska proklamationer och faktiska efterlevnad . som företag som Waymo och Cruise Accelerat upp .
