Overview

• Elon Musk announced on June 27 that a Model Y completed a fully autonomous factory-to-customer delivery, including highway driving, without a person or remote operator onboard.
• Companies such as Waymo and Aurora dispute Tesla’s milestone claim, pointing to their own driverless highway operations and public records of similar services.
• Tesla has not released route logs, video footage, or official details to verify the autonomous delivery and declined to comment on verification requests.
• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Tesla’s Austin Robotaxi pilot after videos showed hesitations, erratic steering, and illegal lane changes.
• Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software remains in beta and is not authorized for use without a person at the wheel, raising questions about regulatory compliance and safety oversight.
