And he can't drive them on public roads. I guess he'll have to move over by the Nurburgring track, and at only 30 Euro a lap he could buy it out for a private morning's fun.
I see Tesla's stock price is down 50%, what a joke, the future of driving? Like all bubble stocks it's destined for the bankrupts court and that will piss off a lot of true believers. Another bigger fantasy is the autonomous driving revolution. A real non-starter but millions, hundreds of millions probably believed it would come to pass.
I remember many years ago stopping at a T-junction on a major 4 lane divided road, waiting for a gap to pull out. It entailed crossing the oncoming traffic from one direction then merging with the traffic coming down the other side. There was no "merging" lane either. The only way to cross in less than 20 minutes was to time it so that as you pulled out there was a gap in the near-side traffic and one about to appear on the far side. But the gap on the far side wasn't there yet, there were still cars almost at the junction. You crossed over, accelerating toward the cars and then slipped in behind them as they passed. It was all critical timing and your brain had to evaluate the speeds and positions of all these cars, and watch for indicators in case one car was going to change lanes. An AI (so called) would never commit to such a maneuver. It would see those cars coming on the other side and wait for them to pass, but by then the other cars coming down in the near lanes would be on top of you.
I have had to take some very radical actions to avoid crashes in my day, even breaking the law, crossing double lines etc. An autonomous car will simply slam the brakes on and hope for the best.
