Regulatory approval will come fast if the safety data is there. 250+ people are dying in car accidents every day in the US.

It will be an interesting rollout for Tesla. It will be gradual. But I don't think it's decades away.

250k will be chump change in the future as we continue devaluing our currency.

I’m not convinced driverless tech is ready for prime time yet, so costs can still go up. I’m seeing tech-infused

We will buy a car for that purpose and have a lot less emotional attachment.

I think most people won’t buy cars. They will basically Uber everywhere.

Commercial transportation of goods would be the biggest benefit IMO. Daytime driving would be much more..

Agreed. Meanwhile, I like how they do it in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

Driverless tech will be mainstream and probably mandatory on freeways but that is decades away.
