That would be great, it would just be a $400,000 vehicle right now. It would be an awesome machine.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin have invested in Tesla since it's beginning. I think they both own a Tesla Roadster and probably both own a Model S (wouldn't you if you had $20 billion).
Tesla could either sell batteries and the electric powertrain to Google or Google will could just autonomous vehicle technology to Tesla and others. Musk likes to sell it's technologies and parts to other companies.
Imagine if the car drove off to charge itself. There wouldn't be any miscalculated trips (like the NY times article). The car could be programmed to not let you run out of energy.
It's coming, just hang tight. There are a lot of people fighting this kind of technology (not sure why, money) and that's unfortunate.
The best part of autonomous vehicles would be turning around the front seats to eat, sleep, play cards, anything. Autonomous vehicles will provide a whole new industry for America, new parts, news services, new shops. It's a good thing, I guess.
Apple needs to get in the "helping the world" business. They should invest some of their $100 billion in future technologies. The world made everyone at apple extremely rich, and Steve Jobs was never the charitable type, isn't it time Apple gave back to humanity? $5 billion from Apple would be nothing to them, but would be everything to a company like Tesla.
The military could even invest in Tesla. I'm sure they would have tons of uses for high-quality batteries and electric powertrains.
Tesla sure has a bright future ahead of them. As soon as a bad review comes out they respond publicly and are not afraid to call out bad journalists.
