Tesla's new target Musk: Self-driving technology plans to be ready by the end of the year
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Monday that he aims to have Tesla's Full Self-Driving system (FSD) ready by the end of the year and hopes the products will be widely released in the U.S. and Europe , subject to regulatory approval.
Speaking at the ONS Energy Conference in Norway on Monday, Musk said he aimed to have the FSD system ready in the U.S. by Christmas and hoped that Tesla vehicles with fully self-driving technology would go on sale by the end of the year.
There have been three rounds of price increases since its launch
Earlier this month, Musk said the North American price of its Fully Self-Driving System (FSD) had been raised for the second time this year, to $15,000. He has previously said that as the technology gets more advanced, the cost will get higher.
The FSD was first launched in 2018 at $5,000; by 2020, the price has doubled to $10,000; Tesla raised the price to $12,000 earlier this year, and this time The latest price hike is Tesla's second on FSD this year.
With this technology, Tesla can automatically change lanes, enter and exit highways, recognize stop signs and traffic lights, and more. FSD is currently in beta testing mode, which means the version currently requires a licensed driver to monitor it at all times.
Musk said in a Twitter reply on the 29th that the FSD Beta 10.69.2 test version will be released within the next week, and if there are no major problems, there will be 10,000 test places.
Regulatory review in progress
Tesla's self-driving technology is still under regulatory scrutiny. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced in June that it would expand its investigation into Tesla's Autopilot Assist System (ADAS) to determine whether the feature was flawed.
In July, the California DMV filed a lawsuit against Tesla, accusing the company of making untrue or misleading claims when it advertised its driver assistance system (ADAS) fact".
If successful in the regulator's accusation, Tesla's license to manufacture and sell cars in California could be suspended or revoked.
