Elon Musk: We’ll launch self-driving technology in Israel soon
Musk said Tesla has fewer than 30 unsupervised robotaxis in Texas and expects the system to become widespread in the United States by year-end.
- On Monday, during the 9th International Smart Mobility Summit 2026, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed via video link that unsupervised Full Self-Driving will be "widespread" in the United States by year-end.
- Tesla currently operates fewer than 30 unsupervised robotaxis across three Texas cities, and scaling to "widespread" usage in seven months lacks supporting evidence, according to the Robotaxi Tracker.
- Musk has a history of optimistic projections, having promised "complete autonomy" by 2017 and "over a million robotaxis" by 2020; six weeks ago, he claimed FSD was already "10X safer" than human drivers.
- Transportation and Road Safety Minister Miri Regev joined the conference, noting that autonomous driving technologies could reduce burdens costing the State of Israel $40 billion annually, with Musk expressing interest in bringing the system there.
- Looking ahead, Musk predicted a future where humanoid robots outnumber humans, potentially expanding the global economy one hundredfold, while emphasizing that developers must remain "a little paranoid" regarding safety.
