Tesla Motors ( (TSLA) ) says its electric cars will be the first in the nation to all be fitted with the hardware needed to drive themselves. CEO Elon Musk says the Model S, X, and forthcoming Model 3 Sedan will start being outfitted with full driving self driving capability. Oil prices are retreating as profit taking sets in. Crude oil prices hit a 15 month high Wednesday on a bigger than expected draw in U.S. stocks and an expectation of an OPEC led cut in production.
