FWIW, Elon Musk did say the following on Twitter:
> To be clear, Tesla is strongly in favor of people being allowed to drive their cars and always will be. Hopefully, that is obvious.
> However, when self-driving cars become safer than human-driven cars, the public may outlaw the latter. Hopefully not.
