Someone has to point out that the emperor has no clothes here. Musk is pulling a fast one, and laughing his way to the bank. He doesn't give a shit about safety. The dude makes $100,000 sports cars with 0-60 speeds that would make Mario Andretti blush. They're toys for rich people. Why would you ever build a performance car that is also self driving? There is only one answer: marketing. This is just another way to make his company look like the future, when in reality his goal is to exploit the fact that the rich are getting richer to make himself richer still. I don't buy it for a second. I think teslas are great for what they are, but there's no point in making a self driving car anything other than a low performance point-to-point machine, given that the entire purpose of a performance vehicle is to enjoy driving as an experience. My guess is he's betting that he can add $10k to the price out of sparking a keeping up with the joneses types phenomenon.
