> Mr. Musk has said Tesla plans to be the first company to offer customers an autopilot feature. “I think we will be the leader in autonomous cars that you can actually buy,” he said. That is interesting to read, especially with the knowledge that they brought this technology from Bosch/Daimler. Without their technology cooperation Tesla still would not even had adaptive cruise control, which every decent car of the last 10 years offers. BTW, from the technology point of view, we are at about 90% of the self driving car. But developing the last 10% is hard. Besides that there are a lot of ethical questions and insurance questions to answer. Ethical: what happens when the car detects an unavoidable accident: where should the crash in? Who decides that? Who is responsible for that? These days it is easy to answer that questions: it's the driver. But in a self driving car? Insurance: what happens if an accident takes place and a person dies from it? Who is responsible? The driver? The car owner? The car manufacturer? The sub-system manufacturer? The developer? There are a lot of non-technical issues to solve.
