The autonomous tech is set to go into the Autopilot systems of the Tesla Model 3, Model X, and Model S, and according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk,

[{"selector":"#anim-0678347e-a35f-4337-9ad6-5ac9ab590f0b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.909212893513704%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-032d05ae-bb17-41be-8442-3336fea0dea7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-23aeab48-c4ed-4d9e-81e3-d27e0e825c8f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.82848%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
