In fact, data from the FSD database and a community tracker showed that Moss used FSD to complete 10,638.8 miles in the Model 3 sans ever taking the wheel, Teslarati.com reported. According to the Pacific Northwesterner’s Tesla account, his vehicle was also the first to travel 10,000 miles using the software sans any interruptions. The Tesla community was impressed by the robo-centric road trip, which coincidentally comes 122 years after Horatio Jackson and Sewall Crocker became the first people to drive an automobile across the US, puttering from San Francisco to New York in 63 days. “We are now living in an era where crossing the American continent by autonomous driving is possible,” gushed one Tesla shareholder. Even the electric car firm’s bigwig Elon Musk weighed in, reposting Moss’s X post with the caption, “cool.” This likely marks one small step for auto-bots, one giant leap for bot-kind. Musk has been going full throttle on driverless tech, notably launching a limited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June using modified Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving, which he recently announced were being tested sans safety monitors in the front seat.
