@w7voa I am impressed, people still want to pay to be Elon Musk's human crash test dummies.

Base on my intimate personal knowledge of an embarrassingly large number of Tesla owners, I still think the problem isn't so much with its self-driving technology as with the sort of people who would use it, and when.

(Now if they just implemented self-tip-the-valet, there'd be no need for a driver at all.)
