It worked for SpaceX.
- mindslight 4y agoI haven't followed SpaceX enough to know if they operate(d) that way, or if it worked reasonably. If it did, I'd guess it was due to increased guardrails. At first glance, you'd think the design of rockets would be more critical than cars. But the issue in Tesla's case isn't the trickiness of the technical problem, but rather the ethics of testing on consumers in populated areas. Taking it as a given that a rocket can't be launched over say a major city (one "guardrail"), it would seem to matter a lot less if a bunch of unmanned rockets blew up on the pad or over a test range.
