Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday that his company will have a "widespread" network of driverless robotaxis in the U.S. by the end of 2026.
"Tesla's rolled out robotaxi service in a few cities, and will be very, very widespread by the end of this year within the U.S.," he said during an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Tesla robotaxis finally hit the road in Austin in June with human safety supervisors on board, after years of pushing back promises to deliver fully driverless cars. The company later launched a ride-share in San Francisco with cars driven by humans.
The company has not obtained permits to test or run its vehicles on public roads without humans at the wheel.
