Until these self driving cars can navigate a rural Michigan blizzard, they’re not level 5. Right now, they barely function during perfect Phoenix weather.
What's the difference between truly self driving and the current self-driving?
There are several levels of driving automation, from 0 (warning system) to 5 (completely robotic taxi)
But in exec speak it goes: self driving, to truly self driving, to really truly self driving, to seriously self driving, to this time it's self driving for realz, and so on...
Teslas are considered level 2/3, and since he said the car will be able to pick you up in a parking lot...I guess he means level 5!? I'm doubtful they could make such a qualitative jump in one year

Perhaps it is a self-admission that he over-promised about a Tesla being a self-driving car in the first place?
Who is asking for this? Even if they can get them to not kill people and co-exist with human drivers... why would anyone want to own one of these? Why wouldn't you just hire/summon one as needed?
Yeah, yeah. This time it will be really sorta almost self driving, not like last time it was promised.
