I wonder if that is more to keep a handle on the process though than anything sinister (in the early stages I would do that).
Still quietly optimistic about Tesla's effect, so I hope they don't turn out as self-serving as the rest.
- DiabloD3 9y agoI, too, suspect it is done for legal liability issues, since there is a lot of money riding on just killing Tesla outright and plunging car manufacturing back into the dark ages. Tesla and Elon Musk has no interest in preventing people from driving their cars. They have an interest in making sure those cars are safe to drive, something Toyota, VW, GM, Ford, and Chrysler have historically had issues with (Hyundai/Kia, Nissan, and Honda really haven't had issues here, in the interest of fairness). Toyota licensing Tesla tech is a bit of an outlier, which I had assumed at the time was Toyota trying to improve vehicle reliability and safety, but the technology seems to have not gone further than that one series of RAV4s.
