BONUS: Tesla launches driverless cars in Australia

Tesla has announced Australia and New Zealand will become the first global right-hand drive markets to activate their Full Self-Driving Supervised technology.

The semi-autonomous feature is set to roll out on Tesla's Model 3 and Y vehicles first, and is capable of completing a door-to-door journey including navigating traffic and other road conditions without the driver touching pedals or the steering wheel.

In Australia under current legislation, autonomous or driverless vehicles are prohibited by approximately 700 rules, but Tesla insists their new system falls compiles with Australian law.

In this bonus episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Professor Michael Milford, Director of QUT’s Centre for Robotics, to unpack the development of autonomous vehicle technology in Australia.
