Elon Musk: The Teslas You Can Buy Today Will Soon Drive Themselves

Elon Musk: The Teslas you can buy today will soon drive themselves.

“In a few months, Tesla will release unsupervised full self-driving. The cars will be driving around by themselves with no people in them. We'll start that in Austin in June, and then we'll rapidly expand that to the rest of the country.

In fact, anyone who has a Tesla now, if they try self-driving, it should work very well, it should be rare that you need any intervention.

In the future, I think it'll be unusual to see a manually-driven car, it'll be like seeing a horse

Tesla's also creating a humanoid robot, Optimus, which I think everyone is going to want because who wouldn't want their own personal R2D2-C3PO robot buddy that will help you do anything you want to do? I think that's going to be a massive product.

SpaceX is doing rocket launching and Starlink Internet, and hopefully we'll build the technology to make life multiplanetary, to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
