Elon Musk underestimated the complexity of creating self-driving cars and announced the imminent launch of a new autopilot

Tesla CEO ELon Musk admitted that he initially underestimated how difficult it is to create a safe and reliable self-driving car.

He published this information on his Twitter page, confirming the imminent launch of the beta version of the new Full Self-Driving v9 automatic piloting system for Tesla vehicles.

Self-driving is a difficult problem. I didn’t expect it to be so difficult, but the difficulty in this case is quite obvious. Only in reality there are so many degrees of freedom.

In the comments, many fans expressed support for Musk, said they believed in him, and recommended that he keep up the good work. Musk has long promised to release Full Self-Driving v9, but the release was postponed several times. This time, he vowed that the update would be released very soon.

Tesla is much more active than its competitors, testing beta versions of its autopilot, collecting data along the way and fixing identified errors. Most Tesla customers are fine with that.

However, as practice shows, Tesla’s autopilot still may not be able to cope even with a completely normal situation on the road.
