Musk has said that the difference between the company being worth a lot of money or worth basically zero is going to be increased by the price of the full self- driving software.

The autopilot driver assistance system is standard in today'sTesla vehicles For an additional $12,000, owners can purchase a feature that Musk has promised will one day deliver full self-drive capabilities. The Navigate on autopilot system is an active guidance system that navigates a car from a highway on- ramp to off- ramp, including interchanges, making lane changes and recognizing traffic controls. It is working on the streets.

All of these capabilities require the human driver to maintain attention and take control when necessary.

More than 100,000 owners have had their city navigation capabilities deployed byTesla, according to Musk. During its first quarter earnings call, Musk gave the same number as before.

Improvements to left turns, animal detection, speed limit accuracy, and pedestrian and cyclist velocity error are included in the newest version.

Musk did not say how much the price will go up, but he said it is currently cheap.

The price of FSD was raised from a one-time payment of $10,000 to $12,000 byTesla in January 2022. The monthly subscription price is currently $199 per month.

Musk said that anyone who wants to use the software with all the restrictions can do so.

Most people don't understand the high value of FSD. It is currently cheap, assuming it will happen.

Musk said that he would solve self-driving by the end of the year, but he didn't explain what that meant.

Level 4 autonomy is when the car can drive in most circumstances without the need for a human to help. It's possible that the steep goal of getting to Level 4 autonomy is even more of a reach for the company after the loss of its top artificial intelligence architect.
