Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Have 'Largest Fleet' Of Autonomous Vehicles As Far Into The Future As He Can Imagine

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk announced on Sunday that as far into the future as he can see, he expects the EV giant to have the largest fleet of autonomous vehicles.

Aligning With Tesla's Long-Term Goals

Musk's declaration is in line with Tesla's work on autonomous vehicles, with the company currently undertaking trials of its Robotaxis in Austin.

"Tesla will have the largest fleet of autonomous vehicles as far into the future as I can imagine," Musk said.

The company has also been investing in artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance its vehicles’ self-driving features.

Why It's Important

The race for autonomous vehicle supremacy is heating up, with Tesla and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) unit Waymo among the frontrunners.

While Tesla relies heavily on cameras for its self-driving tech, Waymo emphasizes a standard that surpasses human driving capabilities.

Nvidia's Breakthrough

Meanwhile, Nvidia Corp.'s (NASDAQ:NVDA) Alpamayo model, introduced at CES 2026, is seen as a breakthrough in physical AI, utilizing radar, cameras, and LiDAR for human-like reasoning.

Meanwhile, the debate over autonomous insurance continues, with investor Jim Chanos criticizing Tesla’s collaboration with Lemonade Inc. (NYSE:LMND) on reduced insurance rates for FSD-engaged driving. Chanos argues that true full self-driving will require manufacturers to bear liability, potentially reshaping the insurance landscape.
