The promise of autonomous cars is not that it can handle your highway commute but complete the full journey from point A to B. When that day comes, it will not only dramatically change road safety, but also open up new business models beyond the current vehicle ownership model to mobility on demand service model.
Elon Musk recently reduced his timetable for full autonomy from 3 years down to 2 years.
“We’re going to end up with complete autonomy, and I think we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years.”
The Model 3 is expected to be the first Tesla vehicle to be equipped with the automaker’s self-driving system.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was at Stanford’s FutureFest recently and he described how he evaluates the progress and a timeline for artificial intelligence:
“If any given year you find your predictions are going further out or coming closer in, that actually one way to think of acceleration [of progress] because otherwise what’s the quantitative measure of AI?”
During the same talk, which took place in October, Musk said that fully autonomous cars are about 3 years away, a prediction he made several times in the past year or so. But today we learn that Musk updated his prediction to just 2 years.
