Trash sorting is probably better than self driving cars. I only see speed talk on this page and nothing about accuracy.

Musk needs like 99.9999% accuracy at near zero latency over several hours of operation. I think Tesla currently is at maybe 99.995% from driving my car. The last 0.005% results in phantom braking etc. It's actually a very hard nut to crack and I don't expect them to achieve the full self driving in all conditions for another 10-15 years maybe. The edge cases are just too many.

I like the trash idea though (or a Q/A robot at a factory etc).
