Major navigation update ‘light-years ahead’ of current system, per Elon

Source: Tesla is planning a major navigation update ‘light-years ahead’ of current system, says Elon Musk

So is it safe to say it will be almost as good as Google Maps if its light years better than what we have now?

The question is will we ever see it. Elon delivers on a fraction of what he promises:

A boy can dream, can't he?

Shoot for the Moon and you'll be amongst the stars. Or something like that.

Shoot for Mars and even if your first launch attempt is a spectacular failure it
ll still be an amazing fireworks show!

Can't wait for it.

Also, can't wait for better maps. Hopefully with a waze integration.
OK, I guess I can wait, and will. But I hope it's faster than backup camera lines.

I suspect this is nothing more than vector based graphics and the new maps that @verygreen showed us.

Tesla is planning

1st level Translation:

3 months maybe, 6 months definitely

2nd-level translation:

1 year for something way less than envisioned.

At this point, if we can get more accurate map and speed limit data, even if the functionality isn't "light years ahead", that would be a significant improvement.

"light years ahead"
"will blow your skulls into a different dimension"
"will look like something from outer-space" (guess when Musk said this?)

A little less hyperbole would do a lot of good. Although I should admit, I was completely blown away by the Semi reveal and Roadster 2020". I had very low expectations on that, I was pleasantly shocked at the specs and my jaw dropped when I heard 200 kWh and 1000 km range.

*cough* Waypoints *cough*

Waypoints, predictive every consumption based on +/- 5% of speed limit, points of interest on upcoming exits.

And hopefully maps on the left IC without any destination set (and even better, with a Waze hazards layer in it)

Suckers!

Shoot for the moon in LA and you’ll be arrested for indecent exposure.

Or end up on TMZ. Same difference.
