Tesla plans to expand fully autonomous vehicle operations across the United States later this year. These vehicles operate without human safety monitors. CEO Elon Musk announced the expansion Monday via video link at a summit in Tel Aviv.
Self-driving Tesla vehicles currently operate in Austin, Dallas, and Houston. This expansion supports the company's broader robotaxi ambitions.
Musk predicts artificial intelligence will manage 90% of all driving miles within five to ten years. He also forecasts that humanoid robots will become commonplace to drive economic growth.
