“Generalised self-driving is a hard problem, as it requires
solving a large part of real-world AI. Didn’t expect it to be so hard, but the
difficulty is obvious in retrospect,” he tweeted on Saturday.
The Tesla CEO’s post also appeared to reference the fact
that the company has a string of missed deadlines for releasing the Full
Self-Driving (FSD) software behind it.
“FSD 9 beta is shipping soon, I swear!” he wrote.
Tesla was scheduled to bring a Full Self-Driving system to
market in 2018 and 2019, but is yet to deliver. More recently, Musk has
referenced a “feature-complete” system that still requires some input from the
driver.
This system is now Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Beta, which has been rolled out to a very limited selection of early-access owners.
Many of the responses to Musk’s tweet were from fans begging to be given access too.
“If it’s good enough for 2,000 beta testers it’s good enough
for me. Let those of us who are ok with the risks of an unfinished version
opt-in,” said Twitter user @On_Tesla
Others made fun of Musk’s repeated promises that the new release was just weeks away.
“Which one is sooner, Two Weeks or Shipping soon?” asked
@vratanpara
“I will train my children to be testers in case I pass away
before it ships” posted @WholeMarsBlog
Full Self-Driving Beta will be based on the company’s new
strategy of using camera vision rather than radar sensor readings to increase
the accuracy of the software.
