Tesla electric cars transformed into level 5 autonomous vehicles by the end of this year 2020? It is the boss of the company, Elon Musk, who suggested it during an exchange on Twitter this Sunday, reports an article from the specialized magazine Electrek .
Tesla's longer-term goal is to transform these vehicles into autonomous taxis so that owners can hire them when they're not using them.
Functionality still looking good for this year. Regulatory approval is the big unknown.

“The functionality will be there before the end of the year. The big unknown is government approval, "Elon Musk wrote on his Twitter account. The “functionality” in question is that of being able to transform a Tesla electric car into a level 5 autonomous vehicle. This means that the car can drive alone on the roads and that “redundancy in the event of system failure is taken supported by another system, ” Numerama says .
However, only level 3 is currently authorized because the driver must be able to react in the event of a problem. The legislation therefore still seems far from being able to authorize the circulation of fully autonomous taxis.
