FRANKFURT: Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk on Tuesday evening tweeted that the electric car maker will be rolling out a new version of its Full Self Driving software, the latest attempt by the California-based company to tout autonomous driving.

Several automakers say they are ready to deploy Level 3 systems that automate highway driving, but require drivers to remain ready to take control.No. Tesla has said its system is only capable of functioning on highways. European crash test officials at European New Car Assessment Programme gave Tesla's Model 3 a"moderate" rating https://www.euroncap.com/en/ratings-rewards/assisted-driving-gradings and said the name Autopilot is inappropriate since it suggests full automation.

On Sept. 22, 2020, during the company's"Battery Day" presentation, Musk admitted that Autopilot software was undergoing a"fundamental rewrite."Tesla uses eight cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors to enable its vehicles to navigate streets. It opted against using Lidar, a sensor that Audi and Mercedes say is vital to corroborate information gathered by cameras."Anyone who is relying on Lidar is doomed. Doomed,” Musk said last year.
