... If new rules enable cars without human controls, it will directly benefit Elon Musk, the Tesla chief executive officer and Trump mega-donor who's become a powerful fixture in the president-elect's inner circle. He's bet the future of the EV maker on self-driving technology and artificial intelligence.
