I believe that the Model X will contain the necessary hardware to be fully autonomous. The catch is that for the first couple of years it will sit silently in the background and collect data from human drivers over the course of millions of miles. This data will be uploaded daily to a central supercomputer that will create a deep neural network that will allow fully autonomous driving to take place in the near future.
What better way to teach a computer how to drive than to sample the driving habits of tens of thousands of drivers?
Here is a video from Nvidia on the subject: GTC 2015: A Short History of Deep Learning, ImageNet (part 4) - YouTube
Also, Elon made a comment about a big announcement for the fall in this video: GTC 2015: NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang Interviews Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk (part 9) - YouTube
Here at 11:52 is what got me to thinking about this:
