      Regardless, he’s saying this stupid shit for more than 10 years now. Self driving cannot be solved without an artificial general intelligence because there has to be an understanding of what other people are going to be doing

      I recall he claimed fully automated driving would be ready by 2016, and back then I actually believed him.

      When other makers said the technology was at least 5 years away, and probably more like 10, I thought they were losers who couldn’t compete.

      LOL apparently I too was an idiot for believing Musk, My wife and I even bought a house in the country, where driving a car is a must for shopping and daily life in general, in confidence that we soon would have fully autonomous cars.

      1 thing is for sure, when we finally switch to fully electric cars, there is zero chance they will be Tesla, and that’s not because he made 1 mistake.

    Self driving cars are a bad idea. There, I said it. It’s solving the wrong problem with technology that is nowhere near ready. The world is simply too dynamic and the “edge cases” matter.

    Better safety features, however, will be a great side effect of this research though.
