"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fully autonomous drive with no people in the car or remotely operating the car on a public highway.”
Elon probably just forgot about Waymo, which has driven MILLIONS of miles autonomously. Yes, they have safety officers who can control them remotely, but my understanding is they only look in when told to by the car or passengers. When they drop off their passengers, they drive to the next pickup request autonomously with no people in the car. They have 10 million paid rides, so Waymo driven fully autonomously with no people in the car to its next pickup MILLIONS of times.
Maybe he meant this was Tesla's first fully autonomous drive with no people in the car.
