There are several levels of driving automation, from 0 (warning system) to 5 (completely robotic taxi) But in exec speak it goes: self driving, to truly self driving, to really truly self driving, to seriously self driving, to this time it's self driving for realz, and so on...

Teslas are considered level 2/3, and since he said the car will be able to pick you up in a parking lot...I guess he means level 5!? I'm doubtful they could make such a qualitative jump in one year

Perhaps it is a self-admission that he over-promised about a Tesla being a self-driving car in the first place?
