On July 9, at the opening ceremony of the World artificial Intelligence Congress (WAIC), Tesla, Inc. CEO Musk said that Tesla, Inc. is very close to achieving L5-level autopilot technology.

Musk said in a video interview that he is very confident about achieving L5 autopilot or full autopilot in the future. "I think we are very close to L5 autopilot and are confident that we will complete the development of L5 basic functions this year," he said. "

It is reported that L5 autopilot is fully automated in the real sense, and human beings have completely become passengers. L5 self-driving vehicles will be fully automated, and there is even no steering wheel, throttle, brakes and other driving mechanisms to drive the vehicle through the perception and calculation of the on-board computer. No matter any environment or road condition, there is no need for human driving to intervene in the control. L5 self-driving cars are human's vision for future development.

Musk believes that there is no fundamental problem in achieving the autopilot L5, but there are a lot of details that need to be solved. "the challenge we face is to solve the details, then integrate the system and continue to solve the long tail problem. "

He also revealed that Tesla, Inc. is also developing a new cooling system to support more advanced computer systems, and praised Tesla, Inc. 's Chinese team for doing "amazing work" and looking forward to visiting the Shanghai super factory as soon as possible.

In addition, Musk also stressed that Tesla, Inc. is currently building a relevant engineering team in China, and plans to carry out original design and engineering development in China, rather than simply moving American things to China.

Tesla, Inc. sold a total of 14954 domestic Model 3s in June, up 35% from a month earlier and setting another monthly record, according to the Federation of passengers.
