HAWTHORNE, Calif. — Tesla Motors didn't announce the self-driving car that some had expected, but did roll out an exotic suite of driver-aid and safety features Thursday night.

CEO Elon Musk said additional features over time, combined with the ones announced Thursday, will give the car semi-autonomous abilities, like setting auto-pilot on an airplane.
