Tesla Says Its New Self-Driving Chip Is Finally Baked

Tesla's Model S sedan, the car company's flagship vehicle, was first shown as a prototype in 2009, has been on sale since 2012, and, barring one small change to remove the fake grille at the front, has looked exactly the same for nearly a decade. This is notable because most manufacturers fully redesign their cars every four to six years to keep them fresh--and to keep buyers buying. For Tesla, tech upgrades are the selling point. The company pushes software updates several times a year, adding features like summon, where a car pulls in and out of a garage with nobody inside, or camper-mode, for sleeping in the car with the heating on. Tesla's biggest claim is that one day, all the cars it's currently building will be capable of full-self driving.
