“Tiny buses for everyone!” says Elon Musk
The plan, released on Tesla’s blog Wednesday, is full of wondrous whizbangery. There will be cars so autonomous that they will earn money for you when you aren’t driving, battery-enhanced solar panels so beautiful that you will want to cuddle them, and tiny, autonomous buses that can be summoned at the push of a button. Oh, and an electric semi-truck that “will be really fun to operate.” (Slate’s Will Oremus provides more detail.)
Musk wrote that he announced this Phase 2 because Phase 1 of his plan (fancy electric sports cars) is nearly complete. Based on the current state of uncertainty around autopilot and Solar City, it looks like Phase 1 still has a ways to go.
