> In December 2015, Musk predicted that "complete autonomy" would be implemented by 2018. At the end of 2016, Tesla expected to demonstrate full autonomy by the end of 2017, and in April 2017, Musk predicted that in around two years, drivers would be able to sleep in their vehicle while it drives itself. In 2018 Tesla revised the date to demonstrate full autonomy to be by the end of 2019. And this goes on for a bit longer up to the present day. After close to a decade of failed promise again and again and again I think we can safely dismiss the "perhaps a bit too optimistic" good-faith defence. But hey, maybe this time it's just around the corner, cross my heart hope to die. And maybe the rapture will be upon us next year like that guy is preaching on the street corner (for real this time – last chance to repent sinners!)
