(Fremont, CA) -- Elon Musk says Tesla will likely launch full self-driving technology this year.

The CEO made the prediction on a conference call Wednesday, and said the test version of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software will be "two steps forward, one step back between releases," but that "the trend is very clearly towards full self-driving."

The electric vehicle company currently sells self-driving software as an option.

This comes amid a significant drop off in Tesla sales in the first quarter of 2023.
