He said: ADVERTISEMENT “If you want a study of AI gone wrong and taking a lot of claims and trying to kill you every chance it gets — there are 1 million Teslas now driving around — go buy one and see what happens.“

Electric Vehicle Push

The Apple co-founder also praised Musk’s efforts in encouraging the use of electric vehicles despite being critical about his failure in delivering self-driving cars.

Conclusion

Overall, Steve Wozniak has criticised Elon Musk for failing in fulfilling his promise regarding self driving cars that were set years ago while still praising him for pushing electric vehicle use in the market today.
