Precisely why I said in the past here that it was a big mistake to fit all model 3s with self-driving hardware making the car significantly more expensive in terms of cost to build.

Musk once again overestimated by a long shot how good and safe autopilot will be. At least it seems he is becoming more responsible or maybe he is forced to by the new board.

He recently publicly announced that Tesla drivers will be able to fall asleep at the wheel and wake up at the destination by the end of next year. Doesn't sound like a lot changed in his mindset.

Sounds like a good chance of waking up at the "final destination" or at least waking up having sent a pedestrian there.

He claims a lot things...

[kayoone]

Yes, i don't give a rating to this statement, i just say that Musk is not conservative about this topic as op suggested. If you ask me, I don't think that they will be anything close to that by the end of 2020

Given that Tesla is considered one of the poorer self driving options out there, and the other players in the game say 5-10 years, maybe I need to hit up a bookie in Vegas...

Why? data, that's why. You need massive amounts of good quality data to build a solid model that will be 99.9999% accurate. This is one of the leverage Tesla has against Waymo.

You can simulate all you want but nothing beats real world data.
