Electric car brand Tesla will "expand to cover the major forms of terrestrial transport" and unveil autonomous buses and trucks next year, founder Elon Musk revealed in an updated masterplan posted to the company blog.
Musk's Master Plan, Part Deux outlines how Tesla's autonomous technology will replace bus drivers, make buses smaller in size and take passengers door to door.
"With the advent of autonomy, it will probably make sense to shrink the size of buses and transition the role of bus driver to that of fleet manager," said Musk. "It would also take people all the way to their destination."

Buses will be completely redesigned to make them use space more efficiently, with central aisles and entrance ways removed. These smaller buses would also help reduce congestion. The buses are in the early stages of development at Tesla, along with heavy-duty trucks. The company plans to unveil the first models next year, likely with partial autonomous technology, as in the current cars.
Musk released Master Plan, Part Deux having ticked off the goals on his original masterplan, which is now 10 years old and focused on producing a gradually more affordable electric car.
