People probably want to be the first to try something that, if it worked, would change humanity as we know it. Or even just contribute to the progress in their own way. Money is hardly the only motivation for many things, nothing stopping them from owning Tesla stock if they really believed their involvement was going to make billions though.
- barbazoo 6y agoHow would a self driving car "change humanity as we know it"? Sure it might make travel by car suck less but not in any significant way that would change humanity in any meaningful way. At least not outside of a very narrow bubble we might be a part of.
- addicted 6y agoHumanity was supposed to have been changed 4 years ago. It’s fairly obvious that the only thing people will achieve is killing themselves, their loved ones, or innocent bystanders. And Tesla will bring us nowhere closer. Anyways, hasn’t Tesla been far more successful as a Bitcoin marketing company in a week than as a manufacturer of cars for over a decade? If you do want to risk your lives over advancing humanity why not risk it with Waymo which is actually making progress in this arena.
