Elon Musk Predicts Your Car Will Be Able to Drive You Cross-Country Soon

Bloomberg reports:

Tesla Motors Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said within two years a customer would be able to summon an electric car to drive autonomously from Los Angeles to New York.

"I might be slightly optimistic on that, but I don’t think significantly optimistic that we can do that in two years," Musk said in a press conference on Sunday. He added that it should be technically feasible to have fully autonomous vehicles within 24 to 36 months.

The comments come after the company announced a software upgrade that will enable owners of Model S sedans to park them in a garage or in perpendicular spaces without a driver at the wheel. Musk called this a "baby step" in the development of driver-less cars.
