Tesla has successfully completed its first fully autonomous vehicle delivery, transporting a Tesla Model Y from the Austin Gigafactory to a customer’s apartment without any human or remote operator intervention. CEO Elon Musk announced this milestone a day ahead of schedule, emphasizing the trip was fully autonomous on public highways. While Waymo has operated fully driverless vehicles with passengers in select cities, Tesla’s achievement marks a significant step forward in its Full Self-Driving system. This progress comes despite earlier safety concerns with Tesla’s robotaxis, which still require safety monitors. The successful driverless delivery demonstrates that Tesla’s technology is advancing towards true unsupervised driving.
