Here are comments made by Musk and Tesla related to self-driving capabilities in the past few years, including during Monday’s event.
Tesla revealed its self-driving plans during an investor day on Monday, with Chief Executive Elon Musk predicting the launch of an autonomous robotaxi service next year in some US markets.
Musk has touted the electric car maker’s self-driving capabilities over the years, highlighting its semi-autonomous Autopilot system.
Tesla began offering a feature described as «Full Self-Driving Capability» in 2016. The company instructs drivers to keep their hands on the wheel when those systems are engaged, sparking some criticism of the term.
Following are the comments made by Musk and Tesla related to the topic in the past few years, including during Monday’s event:
April 22 — Musk predicts that «probably two years from now we’ll make a car with no steering wheels or pedals.»
April 22 — Musk says that in 2020, Tesla will have «over a million cars with full self-driving, software, everything.
