Tesla 'very close' to full self-driving, Musk says:
Tesla will be able to make its vehicles completely autonomous by the end of this year, founder Elon Musk has said.
It was already "very close" to achieving the basic requirements of this "level-five" autonomy, which requires no driver input, he said.
Tesla's current, level-two Autopilot requires the driver to remain alert and ready to act, with hands on the wheel.
But a future software update could activate level-five autonomy in the cars - with no new hardware, he said.
Regulatory hurdles could block implementation even if the remaining technical hurdles are overcome.

It's a miracle that some people can still function in the world. If you need your privacy that badly, it's a fetish. Like killing all the germs or not seeing adverts in every possible place. The world is not here to satisfy your fetish.
