Tesla Electric Cars Heatmap Proves A Free-Emission World Is Forming

Tesla's autonomous cars heatmap proves their ambition is possible.

- This Chinese Electric Car Is Even Cheaper Than An E-Bike And It Outsold Tesla Cars
Tesla is currently having a great advantage as an on-the-rise pioneer of autonomous driving cars. On Monday, at Tesla's HQ in Palo Alto, the company featured a heatmap of its huge cars network which Elon Musk referred to as a "fleet".
According to the CEO, Tesla's biggest advantage is that it has already had the most significant network of cars which consists of hundredfold of autonomous cars more than the others' combined.
This "fleet" is spreading all over the world with its 37,000 autonomous cars, encouraging a free-emission, sustainable world. And its spread indicates a positive trend in selecting environment-friendly vehicles.
Although there are arguments that this is an obvious thing as it overlaps the population-dense areas, which means, you know, more people equals more cars, there are more fascinating facts behind it.
For example, Norway has never been a crowded country but based on the density of vehicles we see on the map, it's comprehensible that it has the most Tesla cars per capita. This became even more significant after Norway reached a historic number in electric cars sales particularly in Tesla cars last month partly thanks to the company's new Model 3.
Another highlight is Eastern Europe. During 1 month of the football World Cup, nearly 13,000 charging spots were built along the road from Belarus to Moscow, which made possible for fans' electric trips through a 500km path. The remaining part of Russia which stays dark is occupied by the Russian autonomous driving Cognitive Pilot.
Tesla is also doing great work in Eastern Asia, where most of China's big cities are covered in blue, same as South Korea, part of Japan, and Taiwan, while North Korea remains dark.
As Tesla is aiming to have a robot taxis network of 1 million cars by 2020, this heatmap shows it can be possible.
