Tesla Autopilot engineer says Level 5 Autopilot not happening anytime soon This is contradictory to Elon Musk's tweets It turns out (surprise, surprise) that Elon Musk’s tweets don’t often hold much value. A Tesla Engineer who spoke with a California DMV official said that “Elonâs tweet does not match engineering reality” when asked about full self-driving tech in Tesla cars by the end of the year. The engineer, CJ Moore, is Tesla’s director of Autopilot engineering, so I’m leaning towards believing his side of the story rather than Musk’s since I assume Moore spends more time actually working on the company’s Autopilot software.
