For over a decade, Elon Musk has promised a future of driverless cars. Now, with the debut of Tesla’s dedicated robotaxi, the Cybercab, and plans to launch a driverless ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas, this June, that vision is being put to the test. To find out where things stand, CNBC took multiple rides with Tesla owners using Full Self-Driving (Supervised), experiencing its strengths, weaknesses, and ongoing evolution. While fans remain optimistic, experts are skeptical. With just months to go, will Musk’s driverless dream finally become reality?
