The point is that Tesla is making money, with the people they have heir to do the work and have a path towards self-driving that is not inherently money losing.

Saying that having a single car that is approved for self driving in a single geographic are is far more advanced then millions of cars that can drive with incredibly advanced driver assists literally all over the world is just an incredibly terrible way to measure progress towards the eventual full solution.

Its simply not a way of measuring progress that I is reasonable.
