Tesla boss Elon Musk wants this year Put autonomous e-cars on the streets – both in the USA and Europe. Musk announced this at an energy conference in Norway.
Spaceships and autonomous electric cars are currently the focus of Elon Musk. At an energy conference in Stavanger, Norway, the Tesla boss said loudly Reutersthat he wants to put one of his SpaceX spacecraft into orbit by the end of 2022.
He also wants to optimize the so-called Tesla autopilot. In the USA and Europe, self-driving Teslas are expected to be on the roads before the end of this year. According to Musk, however, the respective extent depends on official approval.
Elon Musk fires Tesla Autopilot employee
The plan to bring autonomous e-cars onto the market by the end of 2022 seems ambitious. Because recently, the Tesla autopilot was in a series of accidents involved. In addition, as recently as June, Musk fired 200 employees in the United States who had been working on autopilot.
He also said at the Energy Conference in Norway that the world must continue to produce gas and oil to sustain civilization. At the same time, however, sustainable energy sources must also be further developed.
Advertising for autonomous cars should be banned
Until recently, it was also unclear whether Musk would be allowed to advertise his autonomous electric cars in Germany. Because the headquarters for combating unfair competition in Frankfurt am Main had filed a lawsuit against Tesla with the Federal Court of Justice.
However, this was ultimately rejected. In Norway, Elon Musk again pointed out that he wanted to build a new gigafactory in Canada. The final decision should be made by the end of 2022.
