Tesla cars could get Level 4 autonomous driving tech this year

Level 4 autonomous driving tech is said to have the ability to completely disconnect the task of driving.

According to a media report, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made bold claims that the carmaker could introduce Level 4 or 5 Full-Self Driving technology on its models later this year.

Speaking via a video link at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai, Elon Musk claimed that Tesla is very close to achieving full self-driving without human intervention. He added that, although a speculation, Tesla might be able to achieve level 4 or 5 FSD by later this year.

Level 4 autonomous driving tech is said to have the ability to completely disconnect the task of driving. The tech at Level 4 should be capable of handling all situations, although controls will be available in case the driver wants to take over at any time.

Whether Tesla actually pulls it off remains to be seen. Currently, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS and S-Class are the first models to offer Level 3 autonomy in the US.
