Tesla completed the first 'autonomous delivery' of a Model Y SUV to a customer in Austin, Texas, showcasing self-driving capabilities.
The vehicle drove itself 15 miles from Tesla's factory to the customer's apartment complex without any occupants or remote assistance.
The Model Y was downgraded to Tesla’s commercially available Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system upon arrival, requiring drivers to be alert and ready to take control.
The journey demonstrated significant progress in Tesla's self-driving technology, navigating challenging real-world scenarios, but questions remain about preparation, repeatability, and scalability.
