29/08/2022 key30326 | 13:41 PM Tesla chief Elon Musk said on Monday he aimed to get the electric automaker's self-driving technology ready by year-end and key30324 hopes it could be in wide release in the United States and possibly in Europe, depending on regulatory approval.
Speaking at an energy conference in Norway, Musk said his attention was currently focused on his SpaceX Starship spacecraft key30317 and self-driving Tesla electric cars.
"The two technologies I am focused on, trying to key30322 ideally get done before the end of the year, are getting key30327 our Starship into orbit ... and then having Tesla cars to be able to do self-driving.
"Have self-driving in wide release at least in the US, and...potentially in Europe, key30328 key30321 depending on regulatory approval," Musk told the audience.
Oil & Gas
Earlier, Musk said the world key30329 must continue to extract oil and gas in order to sustain civilisation, while also developing sustainable sources of energy.
Advertisement"Realistically I think we need key30316 to use oil and gas in the short key30330 term, because otherwise civilisation will crumble," Musk told reporters on the sidelines of the conference.
Asked if Norway should continue to drill for oil and gas, Musk said: "I think some additional exploration key30319 is warranted at this time."
"One of the key30325 biggest challenges the world has ever faced is the transition to sustainable energy and to a sustainable economy," he said. "That will take some decades to complete."
He said offshore wind key30323 power generation in the North Sea, combined with stationary battery packs, could become a key source of energy. "It could provide a strong, sustainable energy source in winter," he said. -Reuters
