$6,000 for auto-pilot? When the sensors are already in all cars? Can I run my own models à la comma.ai?

Do you honestly think the biggest cost associated with this program is the sensors?
If it's only a software update, when most of ML efforts are open sourced, I don't see why I can't install my own solution.

You'd kill yourself and become Tesla's PR problem.

comma.ai seemed safe, technically is no different in term of softwares used. Tesla auto-pilot did kill more than 10 people now. Why pay for something that might be inferior than the free one?
