Elon Musk commented on Tesla’s next car, saying that it will operate “almost entirely in autonomous mode,” but the automaker has yet to deliver on its promise to make all its cars made since 2016 autonomous. That’s in line with what he previously said about Tesla planning to bring a new purposed-built “robotaxi” electric vehicle to production. But the idea of Tesla working on a new vehicle built especially to be used “almost entirely in autonomous mode” is worrying some people. However, Tesla has so far only delivered “Full Self-Driving Beta” (FSD Beta), which is still a level 2 driver assist system as per the automaker’s own admission. The FSD Beta program has also been stagnant for months with little to no significant updates for the vast majority of people in the program.
