It’s not over optimistic, it’s delusional and will not happen. Tesla doesn’t have self driving cars, what they demoed was a less restricted version of autopilot

It’s not over optimistic, it’s delusional and will not happen. Tesla doesn’t have self driving cars, what they demoed was a less restricted version of autopilot which had to disengage multiple times on the short, predefined demo route that investors rode on.
There’s an easy explanation. Musk knows that self driving is mostly hype at this point but he’s running out of cash and desperately needs a capital raise. If he can fool investors into thinking he’ll have self driving solved within a year maybe they’ll give Tesla the money it needs.
