Tesla Inc. hasn’t thrown its plan to demonstrate an autonomous cross-country drive out the window -- it’s just tapped the brakes.
Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said a self-driving Tesla will attempt the trip from Los Angeles to New York in the next three to six months after missing the deadline he set for late 2017. The autonomous capability will then become available to customers, he said.
