"What is super cool about Tesla is their laser sharp focus on creating a good electric vehicle. From the autonomy announcement and then this one, they are creating tools purpose built for cars, like new chips for self driving, battery tech etc."
That's interesting that you cite that because I wish that Tesla would just focus on electric cars.
Instead I see them wasting all manner of time, energy and goodwill on autonomous driving which is not necessarily related to EVs in any way. In fact, I worry that in the long run, Tesla will be done in by autonomous driving in spite of their great vehicles.

- sidcool 8y agoI argue that self driving is indeed the core of any car's experience. I agree when Elon says that a decade from now, a car without autonomy will be strange. They will be as common as smart phones are today. Smartphone revolution happened in less than a decade. Smartcar revolution will be little slower, but once triggered it will be unstoppable, even in developing nations.
