Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA) are up $3.52, or 1.37%, to $264.94 in mid-day trading Thursday. The gains may be attributed to Tesla CEO Elon Musk who was quoted as saying in Wall Street Journal that the technology needed to create a fully autonomous car will be ready in five or six years, and the result will be a car far less likely to harm occupants and others on the road.
“They will be a factor of 10 safer than a person [at the wheel] in a six-year time frame,” Musk said in an interview with the Journal. “Once the technology is available, it likely would take several more years, however, to work out the regulatory impediments,” he said.
