Tesla's Full Self-Driving will be feature-complete during 2019 (the car can find you in a parking lot, pick you up, and drive to your destination without intervention).

Outcome evidence

• In February 2019 (Ark Invest podcast, ~Feb 19, 2019) Musk said verbatim he expected FSD to be 'feature complete... this year, meaning the car will be able to find you in a parking lot, pick you up and take you all the way to your destination without an intervention, this year' — matching the record's criterion exactly. Prediction ledger records this quote and marks it not achieved.

  Evidence

• By end of 2019 Tesla FSD was not feature-complete to that spec: no production capability let a car autonomously find its owner in a parking lot, pick them up, and drive to a destination without intervention. FSD remained Level 2 requiring an attentive driver; the 'Smart Summon' feature released Sept 2019 was a low-speed, line-of-sight, actively-supervised parking-lot retrieval — not the intervention-free find-you-and-drive-to-destination capability claimed. Tesla's own robotaxi/unsupervised ambitions slipped for years afterward.

  Evidence

• Later coverage confirms the 2019 feature-complete-and-robotaxi timeline slipped repeatedly (a driver-supervised internal ride-hailing app only began employee testing in early 2024; a public robotaxi effort launched far later), corroborating that the 2019 feature-complete claim was not met by 2019-12-31.
