Oh yeah - technically it made the self driving problem much harder (maybe impossible). But that doesn't matter - like I said, you can always retrofit if needed

Oh yeah - technically it made the self driving problem much harder (maybe impossible). But that doesn't matter - like I said, you can always retrofit if needed, or just settle lawsuits with a refund in the worst case. In the meantime, the fact that "these cars will be able to self drive, no others will", is selling more cars, even if it may never be true.
