Speaking ​by video link to the ⁠Smart Mobility Summit in ​Tel Aviv, Musk said ​there were already self-driving cars operating in three cities in Texas ​without safety monitors, adding ​that that would expand nationwide this ‌year.

“Five ⁠years from now and certainly 10 years from now … probably 90% of all ​distance ​driven ⁠will be driven by the AI in ​a self-driving car,” he ​said. “So ⁠overwhelmingly, it’ll be quite a niche thing in ⁠10 ​years to actually ​be driving your own car.”
