What!?!? So pouring billions into a project for alternative (to fossil fuel vehicles) transportation for the last decade is getting trumped by Generative AI development? Make this make sense? The legal ramifications of incorrect responses from generative AI will cost more than finishing something that has far more reaching implications in the long term than what they will develop with such a late start in the other industry. Please inform me of my ignorance and I will take it in stride.
Not surprising. Making electric cars, or any vehicles for that matter, is extremely difficult at scale. What Tesla has accomplished is no less than a miracle. Elon Musk aside.
