Musk research new autopilot can replace bus to ease congestion

April 22, according to Bloomberg News, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is developing a self-driving vehicle, which he said can replace buses and other public transportation, thereby reducing urban traffic congestion, but specific research and development He has kept confidential for the progress. “We have a design concept now, it’s not exactly a bus, but it can solve the traffic intensive problem in the city,” Musk said at a transportation meeting in Norway on Thursday. When it comes to this project, Musk said that "automatic driving is the key," but he did not disclose more details. "Now I don't want to talk too much, I have to be cautious."

Musk's Tesla Group has affected the transportation industry by providing smarter loading software trams. This month Tesla's latest product, the price of the Model 3, which is relatively affordable, has reached 400,000 units. Designed for the mass market. At the same time, Musk is still exploring the super high-speed rail Hyperloop, a capsule train in the pipeline that can carry passengers through the city. Musk's space exploration company is developing how to send humans to Mars.

“I very much agree that high-density urban traffic problems must be solved now,” Musk said. “There is now a new type of vehicle that can solve this problem and carry people to their final destination, not just the bus stop.”

In the past, Musk mentioned the construction of a car tunnel to solve the traffic jam problem. “The overall blockage of traffic is really a breakdown,” Musk said in a Bloomberg TV interview last May. In August last year, his response to a car sharing question made people wonder that Tesla might start to offer his service to his tram.

Musk is not the only future billionaire to invest in public transportation. Warren Buffett also supports the proposal to launch an all-electric bus in the city, including Seattle.
