"I am currently focusing on two technologies, which I hope to complete by the end of this year," he said. "the first thing is to put our starship into orbit, and then let Tesla's car drive itself."

Mr Musk added: "Autopilot technology will at least be widely available in the US and may also be introduced in Europe (by the end of the year), depending on regulatory approval."

Starship is a new generation of SpaceX carrier rockets whose ultimate goal is to replace the current main rocket Falcon 9 to carry out a cargo mission that will eventually carry astronauts to the moon and Mars. According to the plan, the starship will make its first orbital launch in 2022.

Asked whether Norway should continue drilling for oil and gas, Musk said: "I think it is necessary to do some additional exploration at the moment. One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is the transition to sustainable energy and a sustainable economy. It will take decades to complete."
