I think you're missing the whole point.

The whole point is that Tesla has been promising full self-driving cars for years, and going as far as to talk shit about specific computer vision strategies used by competitors with actual real-world autonomous car services being provided to the public. Elon Musk has been promising the public that full self driving was just a software update away for those who spent money on a Tesla car with a specific onboard computer.

And now, after years of making promises about full self driving cars and shitting on companies who already provide autonomous car services, they silently decide that after all they "need the ability to access and control [Tesla cars] remotely” ?

I mean, using teleoperators is a widely known industry standard. Tesla was promising way more than that and shitting on those who were using them. And now apparently they are scrambling to catch up with what Waymo was doing over a decade ago?

If I was a shareholder or a customer, I'd be pissed.

I don't know where you get your stock quotes. The ones I get tell that last monday TSLA stock prices were at around $350 and right now they stand at $345.

First Google hit, but I probably misread, I don't gamble much on the stock market.
