During Wednesday’s’ Tesla Q2 earnings call, an analyst asked Elon Musk when Tesla would look at autonomy for the Semi.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk just revealed that the Tesla Semi is expected to get self-driving capability as early as 2027—but the real story isn't when. It's how.
Here's the question a lot of people are asking:
How can Tesla make a giant Semi truck drive itself safely when it's still improving Full Self-Driving in passenger cars?
The answer may surprise you.
Tesla isn't starting from scratch.
Every mile driven by Tesla's Full Self-Driving system in Model 3s, Model Ys, Cybertrucks, and other vehicles teaches the company's AI how people drive, how roads work, and how to react to countless real-world situations. Tesla says its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system is designed to handle many driving tasks, but it still requires a human driver to pay attention and be ready to take over.
Now Tesla appears ready to take those lessons and adapt them to the Semi.
We've already seen Tesla testing Semi trucks with specialized validation equipment mounted on the cab, suggesting the company has begun preparing the truck for autonomous driving development.
