Elon Musk: Self-driving Teslas are going to make their owners money by competing with Uber, Lyft via CNBCMakeIt
Elon Musk says Tesla vehicles one day make money for their owners by autonomously transporting people when their owners are not using them — like a driverless Uber or Lyft ride.For example, there's a small camera above the rear view mirror of Teslas meant to eventually give users a way to watch what happens inside their car when they are not in it.
"It's hard to wrap my head around a future where my car might be earning me money through autonomous driving while I'm asleep in my bed or play video games but here we are," German professional e-sports player Marcel"Dexter" Feldkamp tweeted back. Currently, Tesla has autopilot function which includes following features:"match speed to traffic conditions, keep within a lane, automatically change lanes without requiring driver input, transition from one freeway to another, exit the freeway when your destination is near, self-park when near a parking spot and be summoned to and from your garage," according to the Tesla website. However, the autopilot features require the driver to be actively supervising the car.
