Elon Musk's Dream of Driverless Cars

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, recently shared his vision for the future at a glitzy event in California. He talked about a world where cars drive themselves, parking lots become parks, and robots walk among us. Musk showed off his new robotaxis and a van called the Robovan, which he says will be ready in a few years. But will he meet these promises? Investors aren't so sure, as Tesla's track record for self-driving features isn't perfect. Musk admitted he's often too optimistic about timelines. The event was livestreamed, and people were excited to see the 50 self-driving cars cruising around. Musk said Tesla's Full Self-Driving feature will soon work without human oversight in some states. He also introduced the Cybercab, a car without a steering wheel or pedals, planned for 2026. But other companies, like Google's Waymo, are already ahead in testing driverless cars. Some experts question if Tesla's self-driving tech is really safer than human drivers. Musk has made big promises before, and it's taken longer than expected to deliver.
