We polled Tesla owners, do you want autopilot disabled or not. Not one person wanted it disabled. That's pretty telling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like the word 'autopilot' more than I like the word 'self-driving.' 'Self-driving' sounds like it's going to do something you don't want it to do. 'Autopilot' is a good thing to have in planes, and we should have it in cars.
I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.
Tesla is changing the paradigm. We're going to turn the world on its ear and create high demand through design.
My message is not just to disabled people, but to everyone: You have to work hard.
You can't have thousands of cars without good computers on the electric grid.
Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.
And autos are not the only product that could be made more energy efficient if we just put in place sensible requirements. This is also true of many appliances and even of entire buildings.
The goal of Tesla is to accelerate sustainable energy, so we're going to take a step back and think about what's most likely to achieve that goal.
Put your financial life on autopilot as a form of 'forced' saving.
At Tesla, we don't go into a community and think we're going to sell one or two cars.
