Tesla Owner Crosses U.S. Hands-Free, Pure Vision Autopilot Draws Attention

Two weeks ago, Tesla owner David Moss drove his Model 3 from San Francisco to New York—a journey of 4,397 kilometers completed in nearly three days—relying solely on the vehicle’s cameras and neural networks for full autonomous driving without any human intervention. This case has reignited industry-wide debate over the feasibility of pure vision-based autonomous driving technology. As 2026 approaches, Chinese intelligent driving companies are also accelerating technological iteration, striving to secure a foothold in the high-level autonomous driving "final round."
