"Last year, Tesla defied its critics by boldly launching a robotaxi service that, by the end of the year, required no human supervision and was available to over 50 percent of the US population. At least that's what Tesla CEO Elon Musk told us would happen by the end of 2025. The reality, of course, was much different. Tesla's "robotaxi" service, as it stands today in Austin and San Francisco, is still not available to anyone who wants to use it."
"In other words, Musk's predictions about self-driving cars have yet again failed to come true. And just today, the billionaire purveyor of nonconsensual deepfake porn has moved the goalposts yet again. In his new comment, as first noted by Electrek, Musk stated that Tesla needs to accumulate roughly 10 billion miles of data before it can achieve "safe unsupervised self-driving.""
Tesla announced a robotaxi service promised to require no human supervision and to be available to over 50 percent of the US population by the end of 2025. The service remains limited to supervised operations in Austin and San Francisco, with an employee seated in the driver or front passenger seat and access to a kill switch. Some unsupervised tests have occurred, but the number of those tests is unclear. Tesla now says it needs roughly 10 billion miles of data to reach safe unsupervised self-driving, postponing widespread unsupervised availability.
