My takeaway from this article was a familiar complaint for many of us: over-hyped new features being prioritized over more beneficial work. The key quote being:
> Tesla should focus instead on improving its actually-existing AI, its autopilot system. After all, the general idea of using computers to help humans avoid collisions is very good; we kill over 36,000 people a year with cars, so anything that drives that number down is worthwhile.
I think the author is saying that Tesla keeps promising a technology that seems to always be a few years away. But they could be saving lives right now with driver-assist tech that just isn't as "flashy" as full self-driving.
We're drowning under a mountain of tech debt and security issues (car crashes) that we could alleviate in 1 sprint, but the PM wants to add "cloud" to the marketing slides, so chop chop!
