Tesla will develop a completely unmanned taxi with a futuristic design. This statement was made by the head of the American company Elon Musk during the opening of a plant in Texas, reportsReuters . At the same time, the top manager did not name the exact timing of the project.

“This is going to be a massive project. Fully autonomous driving is a real robot taxi,” Musk said.

However, so far Tesla has not been able to create a fully unmanned control system for electric cars. In 2019, Max already promised that in 2020 he would launch autonomous taxis in some US cities. In January of this year, a top manager said he would “be shocked” if this year they did not manage to create an unmanned system that would control the car better than a person.

Tesla is currently testing the new FSD Beta semi-automatic control system. Ordinary owners of American electric cars can participate in the experiment. The head of Tesla, Elon Musk, said not so long ago that the new system is so perfect that it can give motorists a false sense of security and full autonomy of an electric car.

At the moment, the functionality of the technology provides for the recognition of road signs and traffic signals. The system can take control of the vehicle, but the driver still needs to keep their hands on the wheel at all times. The technology can also park an electric car on its own.
