NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL) - Get Report co-founder Steve Wozniak told CNBC Asia on Wednesday morning that he thinks electric car company Tesla (TSLA) is the "biggest disruptor" in today's market.

"Tesla is probably the one I think of personally because a lot of what [CEO] Elon Musk does is just really driving toward that future that we can have that is so much more beautiful and not restricted by the way things were done in the past," Wozniak said.

Musk built the first successful automotive company in the U.S. since 1927, as well as the first electric car that feels normal, like you can drive it anywhere you want to, Wozniak explained.

"You can own it and feel like 'I'm an owner. I can go wherever I want to go just like in a gas car.' That's changed my life a lot," he said.

Recently, Tesla has been under fire for incidents involving its Autopilot system, including a fatal crash in Florida and, most recently, an incident in Beijing where no injuries occurred.

On Monday, Tesla removed a Chinese term for "self-driving" from its China website after the driver involved in the Beijing accident said he was misled about the car's capabilities.
