Tesla car automatically drove to the new owner’s home. This is the first time in the world this has happened. The car drove to its new owner all by itself.

The self-driving Tesla Model Y traveled from the company’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, to the buyer’s home, which was about a 30-minute drive away. During the trip, it navigated highways, intersections, traffic lights, and city streets completely on its own.

This historic event was widely shared online. Tesla initially released a short, three-minute time-lapse video, followed by the full 30-minute video on Saturday.

The video footage shows the Model Y leaving the Gigafactory garage with no one in the driver’s seat.

Filmed from the back seat, the video documents the car skillfully navigating roads, making turns, obeying stop signs, stopping at red lights, and handling real traffic situations without any human intervention.

At the end of the journey, the Model Y parked itself under the owner’s apartment building.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk re-shared the video on X with the single word, “Kapow.”

Ashok Elluswamy, the head of AI and Autopilot at Tesla, confirmed that the car reached speeds of up to 115 kilometers per hour during the journey.

“We just successfully completed the first-ever fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from the factory to a customer’s home on the other side of town, including highways, a day ahead of schedule!!” Elon Musk wrote on X.

In another post, he wrote, “There was no one in the car and no remote control. Fully autonomous!” He added, “To our knowledge, this is the first time a fully autonomous drive has been accomplished on public highways with no one in the car and no remote control.”
