Tesla recently demonstrated its self-driving car capabilities by autonomously delivering a Model Y SUV from its factory to a customer's home in Austin, Texas. This event was marked as the first 'autonomous delivery' according to CEO Elon Musk. While the vehicle operated using advanced software on a complex route, upon delivery, it was downgraded to a version requiring driver supervision. The timing coincided with upcoming financial reports expected to reflect a sales downturn for Tesla, although the stunt initially boosted its stock.
