And why are Tesla burning karma by promoting this technology?
For SpaceX, self-landing rockets are a direct method of reducing costs.
For Tesla, sort-of-self-driving cars are a distraction from the core product and are tainting the brand. Stick to selling top-tier electric vehicles with human-driving, people will still buy them on merit.
To me it's am example of what happens when software developers run the asylum. You can do nearly anything in software, but should you?

Except if the rumors about turnover in the Tesla software team are true, the exact opposite is the case. The hot goss is that they're under pressure to meet unrealistic goals, not vomiting their own hubris into the product.
- pwinnski 8y agoIn this case, read "software developers" as "Elon Musk," and the metaphor makes sense.
