Musk claims he is close to levelling up
 

Level 5 autonomous driving technology could be here -- if you believe him

Electric vehicle maker Tesla is “very close” to achieving level 5 autonomous driving technology, Chief Executive Elon Musk said.

For those who came in late level 5 is the abiliy to navigate roads without any driver input. This level of automony is surprising since Tesla cars have made a habit of driving into parked lorries. Musk has a few bad habits of his own including talking up his company's progress.

Musk said in a video message at the opening of Shanghai’s annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC): “I’m extremely confident that level 5 or essentially complete autonomy will happen and I think will happen very quickly. I remain confident that we will have the basic functionality for level 5 autonomy complete this year.”

Automakers and tech companies including Alphabet, Waymo and Uber Technologies are investing billions in the autonomous driving industry.
