If, and that is a big IF, they manage to achieve it. My best guess is that Tesla won't get anywhere close to L5 before the end of this decade.

Your best chance today is to pack more sensores.

Edit: I still believe that the systems which assist the driver today are useful and can make driving safer and easier. I don't want to downplay what they have achieved but they are a looong way from L5.



view as:

I believe the CEO of Waymo, the company that is actually succeeding in self-driving, has said several times now that L5 is not even on the horizon, for anyone.

The problem isn't just training, it's sensors. There are simply no sensors available today that work in all the different weather conditions that L5 requires with the required precision.


And even if they manage to pull it off, they ought to have data showing that they, in particular, can remove lidar sensor without losing fidelity, simply because we know that lidar is what gives reliable range information.
