Musk tells fans 'full self driving' Teslas are near, as investigators dig into Autopilot accidents

The new Tesla Model Y may not have a steering wheel. SAN FRANCISCO -- In August, Tesla electric cars will offer "full self driving features," CEO Elon Musk tweeted over the weekend. But aside for that brief description, written in response to an owner's comments about Tesla's Autopilot suite of driver-assist features, Musk didn't give any more details about just how autonomous his cars would be. In the tweet, which addressed a concern about Autopilot wavering in high-traffic lane-merging situations, Musk said "that issue is better in latest Autopilot software rolling out now & fully fixed in August update as part of our long-awaited Tesla Version 9." He added that "to date, Autopilot resources have rightly focused entirely on safety (and) with V9 (version 9), we will begin to enable full self-driving features."
