Tesla to ship all its cars with self-driving capability
CEO Elon Musk says buyers will have a choice regarding how much autonomy they want to give their vehicle
San Francisco
BILLIONAIRE Elon Musk has moved the world one step closer to robotic vehicles, saying every car and sport utility vehicle (SUV) that his Tesla Motors Inc is currently building will roll out of the factory with all the equipment needed to be fully self-driving.
Drivers can't let go of the steering wheel permanently - at least not yet - but that's a goal after a series of software refinements that will be made over time, CEO Musk told journalists on a call on Wednesday evening.
