Elon Musk announced new timelines for the rollout of Autopilot for the Tesla Semi electric trucks

During the earnings call for the second quarter of 2026, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the full self-driving (Full Self-Driving) for the Semi trucks is scheduled to be rolled out in late 2026 or early 2027.

According to the CEO, the delay in developing the autonomous system for commercial trucks is due to the company’s prioritization of mass-market passenger models (Model 3, Model Y, and Robotaxi). 

At the same time, Musk emphasizes that autonomous trucks will be a key solution to overcoming the acute driver shortage in the U.S. logistics industry and will significantly improve transportation safety.

Despite these new promises, experts urge caution regarding the stated timelines, pointing out the systematic postponement of deadlines for Tesla’s Autopilot system since 2013, as well as the active progress being made in this area by direct competitors (notably Aurora).

Tesla ended the second quarter with record vehicle deliveries. The company delivered more than 480,000 electric cars to customers, significantly exceeding analysts’ forecasts and posting its best-ever result for this period in its history.

Honda has officially launched its first mass-produced electric motorcycle on the European market. The WN7 model is already on sale in the United Kingdom, has a range of up to 140 kilometers, and supports fast charging.
