Musk said in October that a Tesla will drive itself from Los Angeles to New York before the end of 2017. The demo, however, may occur early next year, Musk said during the company's second-quarter earnings call Wednesday.
"It is certainly possible that I will have egg on my face on that front, but if it’s not at the end of the year it will be very close," Musk said.
A slight delay isn't a huge concern for consumers considering the regulatory environment isn't fully prepared to support self-driving vehicles. The possible change in course, however, does little to assuage concerns about a recent string of executive departures from the company's Autopilot team.
