Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the first autonomous delivery of the Tesla Model Y driverless taxi was completed a day ahead of schedule.
“The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from the factory to the customer's home was completed a day ahead of schedule!“, he wrote on his X account.
Musk thanked Tesla's software and AI chip developers for the successful implementation of the project.
In the domestic US market, Tesla will compete with Google's Waymo driverless taxi service, which began to be implemented in 2020.
In the global market, Musk's company will also face competition from Chinese companies Apollo Go, WeRide and Pony AI.
In 2016, Musk first announced to Tesla investors that the company would introduce a driverless car capable of safely transporting passengers without human intervention in about a year, but it has not yet been released for sale.
