Real self-driving Teslas are on their way
The CEO of the largest builder of electric cars in the world, Tesla’s Elon Musk, is always good for a high-profile statement. So also now: Musk says that oil and gas are still necessary to maintain society for the time being. And there is also news about self-driving Teslas.
Elon Musk was seen and heard during Offshore Northern Seas 2022, an energy conference in Stavanger, Norway. In light of that theme, it is not surprising that he states that oil and gas are still necessary for the time being. According to Musk, it is important to maintain the production of those fossil fuels for the time being, while in the meantime work is being done on new and better forms of renewable energy. If we don’t, Musk says ‘civilization will crumble’. Maybe not a bad idea since we are already seeing the first signs of this.
Self-driving cars
At the same conference, according to Reuters, Elon Musk will also open a book about Teslas that can drive completely themselves. Tesla’s far-reaching autonomous functions have been categorized as ‘Full Self Driving’ for years, which has come under a lot of criticism for the car manufacturer. According to Musk, that criticism is unjustified, because users know that they are still on the road with a beta product, so in the test phase. A more serious version of this FSD system should appear before the end of the year, although we don’t know exactly what that means yet. The United States is of course the first to turn, but Europe is also mentioned immediately. According to Musk, whether this will succeed in time depends mainly on regulations.
