Tesla CEO Elon Musk believes that the introduction of new technologies in this area will not only improve road accident statistics, but also help cope with congestion on the streets of megacities.

«We set out to create a vehicle that only remotely resembles a bus and is capable of solving the issue of traffic jams in densely populated cities. In my opinion, we need to completely rethink the approach to organizing passenger transportation. The key to this is the use of driverless cars», — Musk shared during his speech at a conference held in Norway.

In addition, it is worth noting that Tesla had previously announced work on an electric truck with an open platform, the premiere of which is expected in the next two years.
