Wait–let subcontrators worry about developing state-of-the-art capabilities for them? FWIW I think they should be way more conservative with how they advertise

Wait–let subcontrators worry about developing state-of-the-art capabilities for them? FWIW I think they should be way more conservative with how they advertise Autopilot, but the only way something like that is getting shipped at this stage is from in-house.

My point was that there's no reason Tesla needs to be first to market with self driving cars, they already have a unique selling point in their electric cars. The car industry is full of suppliers doing all kinds of advanced stuff. Ferrari uses dampers from MagneRide and Öhlins, brakes from Brembo, transmissions from Graziano, and so on. Rimac makes hybrid drive trains, Bosch makes ABS and ESC, few brands makes their own seats, and so on. Bosch have their own autonomous driving development. I don't know how far along they are compared to Tesla, partly because Elon likes to boast where others prefer to hold back, but so what if Tesla would've been a few years later with self driving than others? https://www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com/en/highlights/automated-mobility/automated-driving/ https://www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com/en/highlights/autom...
