DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Elon Musk promised hundreds of thousands of self-driving Teslas will be on the road requiring no human intervention by the end of next year. That vow came in a CNBC interview. The billionaire also committed to being CEO of Tesla in five years’ time at a video appearance earlier for the Qatar Economic Forum hosted by Bloomberg. Investors in Tesla are anxiously awaiting a test run of the company’s self-driving taxi service in Austin next month. Musk predicts the remotely-monitored taxis would prove a success and the Tesla taxi fleet will rapidly grow and start offering service in Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco and other cities.
