That's a misleadingly vague description of what the page is for. Mobile data providers in US already offer similar deals, like T-Mobile's "Binge On".

I didn't mean to say every bank supports this. If USAA is the only one that credits any amount instantly, that's a shame, since they've started restricting who can sign up.

In US a person can actually write a check for any amount, and you can photograph it with the bank app on your phone and be able to spend it instantly. I'm not saying it's an elegant system, but at least instant free payments exis

The A8 autonomy is only for freeway traffic jams. What you linked does not seem to be an example of that.

Is there any reason to believe a present day Model S can't pass all the tests the A8 will go through to be approved for "eyes off" autonomous driving? (Other than changing the parameters for the "hands on wheel" wa
