Noting this, Tesla is pressing ahead with the introduction of FSD. It currently asserts that its electric vehicles can now travel unaccompanied from the factory to designated docking areas. The automaker's artificial intelligence division published two films demonstrating several new Model 3s and Model Ys navigating a roughly 1.2-mile loop on the Fremont factory grounds without an occupant.
Tesla did not provide any details beyond what can be seen in the two social media posts, making it difficult to determine the precise route taken by the vehicles. Based on the videos available, it appears that the driverless journey begins at a Supercharger station located near one of Tesla's factory buildings. The cars then travel for approximately six minutes, ultimately arriving at a parking lot where they are loaded onto trucks and scheduled for delivery.
At several factories globally, but the German auto manufacturer's procedure is significantly more intricate.
The primary facility in Dingolfing, Germany, employs a test track that stretches 0.62 miles within its premises. This network is referred to as Automated Driving In-Plant (AFW) and leverages a set of sensors strategically positioned along its path to navigate newly assembled vehicles. Accomplishing this requires an externally derived environment model combined with an external movement planner.
