Kimbal Musk is the owner of several Tesla vehicles, including a Model X, a Model Y, a Model 3, and a Cybertruck in Austin. However, he favors the Model S due to his height and its Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta feature.
According to Kimbal, the Model S has been the best car on the market since the Model T Ford, and he discusses the unique yoke design, envisioning its integration into the dashboard once autonomy becomes common. When asked about the timeline for full autonomy, Kimbal believes it is already close to fruition, mentioning the potential launch of a robotaxi without a steering wheel within the next decade.
He acknowledges that regulatory requirements still pose a challenge, as steering wheels are mandated. Despite his predictions, the realization of cars without steering wheels remains uncertain, especially considering Elon Musk’s ambitious targets for Tesla’s technologies.
Kimbal’s insights are shared in a full interview, which lasts over three and a half minutes. The discussion touches on the challenges and potential advancements in autonomous driving technology within the Tesla ecosystem.
