Within three to six months, Business Magnate Elon Musk expects his brand ‘Tesla’ to become completely self-driven and even be able to complete a journey going coast to coast across the US. Musk even goes as far to claim that Tesla could have easily already done this but it would require ‘too much specialised code’ which would be ‘gaming’. Essentially meaning, the car would only be able to complete a single route coast to coast, with no other automotive functions.
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International) claims there are 5 steps to creating a completely driverless vehicle, with the 5th stage being completely automatic driving.
