Trump's Drive to Autonomy: Tesla Speeds Ahead

The Trump transition team is revving up a federal framework for self-driving cars, potentially turbocharging Tesla’s Elon Musk. With plans to launch driverless robotaxis by 2026, Tesla's stock surged 8%, pushing its market cap to $1.1T. Bipartisan legislation aims to ditch sluggish state approvals, but experts warn Tesla’s tech still needs safety boosts. Meanwhile, Musk’s close ties to Trump add an extra spark to this autonomous ambition.
