Well, / I think this is one of those things / that are quite difficult to predict. // When you think of, / say, / the first controlled power flight / was in 1903 with the Wright Brothers. // And then, / 66 years later / we put the first people on the moon. // I mean, / if you asked people, / say, / in 1900, / what are the odds of landing on the moon / they would've said that's ridiculous. // If you try to talk to them about the internet / they wouldn't know what the heck you're even... / What are you talking about? // Like, / this sounds so crazy. // But today, / with a hundred-dollar device / you can video-conference / with anyone in the world. // On the other side of the world, / and if you have a Wi-Fi connection, / it's basically free. // You're free to have an instant / visual communication with anyone, / or even with millions of people. // You know, / with social media / you can communicate to millions of people / simultaneously. // So, / and you can google something / and ask any question. // It's like an oracle of wisdom, / that you can ask almost any questions / and get an instant response. // It would be incredibly difficult to predict these things / in the past. // Even the relatively recent past. // So, / I think / the one thing / that we can be quite certain of / is that any predictions we make today / for what the future will be like in 50 years / will be wrong. // That's for sure. // I think directionally, / I can tell you what I hope / the future has, / as opposed to maybe what it will be. // This may just be wishful thinking. // I mean / I hope we are out there / on Mars and maybe beyond Mars, / Jupiter. // I hope / we're traveling frequently / throughout the solar system, / perhaps preparing for missions / to nearby star systems. // I think all of that is possible in 50 years. // And I think it's going to be very exciting to do that. // And, / I think we'll see / autonomy and artificial intelligence advance tremendously. // Like that's actually quite near term. // My guess is in probably / 10 years, / it will be very unusual for cars / to be built / that are not fully autonomous. // - 10 years. // [10 years from now?] // Yeah. / I think almost all cars / built / will be capable of full autonomy / in about 10 years. // As it is, / the Tesla cars that are made today, / have the sensor system necessary for full autonomy. // And we think probably enough compute power / to be safer than a person. // So, / it's mostly just the question of developing the software / and uploading the software. // And if it turns out that more compute power / is needed, / we can easily upgrade the computer. // And, / so that's all Teslas built since October last year. // And other manufacturers will follow / and do the same thing. // So, / getting in a car will be like getting in an elevator. // You just tell it where you want to go / and it takes you there with extreme levels of safety. // And that will be normal, / that will just be normal. //
