Amazing, and their semi-truck is going to be another game-changer.

Agreed, self driving vehicles are a total game changer and are operational today. Class 8 trucks are next, bye, bye long haul truckers.

I love everything about Tesla’s !!Thanks

Well, i support Tesla with all my intelect. heart but one thing isn't clear to me. What if mainstream adopts Tesla and other electric cars, which eventually it will. What about power consumption? Surely solar and wind energy won't be able to power up billions of cars and the other basic electricity at the same time? Nuclear power plants, still the future? Btw. Tesla is my favorit Musk's project. Full of optimism about it. Maybe one day I will drive it.

The only problem autonomous cars will have will be human-driven cars.

I really enjoy driving, but I can't wait until I get into my car after a long day at work and simply tell it to drive home.   :-)

Amazing!

I have heard Musk say he thinks it to be at least twice as good as the average driver.  He also said he doesn't think it will be adopted or ready until it is up to 10 times safer!

tesla is awesome but too bloody expensive haha

thank you for your sharing! hopefully it can be well developed soon, apparently it is necessary which should be widely adopted..

I use a GPS but also plan my route to know where I am going, I never trust the GPS to get me to the correct destination as on occasion it fails, you should avoid being dumbed down by any technology. I really like the potential safety features of a smart car to reduce accidents, but handing over total control is another issue. I do not see mass adoption in the near future unless there are financial incentives or penalties to push self driving cars.

I have read that driverless cars are involved in a lot of accidents, a higher proportion than the average.  However its rare that the driverless car was at fault, what seems to be happening is because driverless cars actually follow the rules, human drivers crash into them a lot!  If a light turns amber, the driverless car comes to a stop, it doesnt put its food on the gas and try to accellerate through on the cusp of a red light.
There was some talk of the companies wondering if it would be safer to teach driverless cars to break the law, at least until enough are on the road that human drivers learn how to drive alongside them...!

Guys... really... A company that loses money on every sale. Is subsidized by the federal government to continue production. Again, everyone wants to ignore the economics like we are going to jet forward into some sci-fy BS future. The economics on these vehicles are SOOOOO bad. There is also very insufficient battery power to actually use self driving semis that costs millions of dollars. This is a DT... We are still 100 yrs from having electric cars for everyone.  Why is this?? Because that is when we will be allowed to. Tesla is a front for pretending that we have a free market system with awesome ideas. If we had free market economics in this country we would have been using alternative energy vehicles for the past 80 years. Have you seen the amazing vehicles fro 100 years ago??? They were far more efficient than their gas counters parts, but they were crushed by the tycoons because again it comes down to money. Much more money in making a world run on gas than on alternative power sources. Same with healthcare, we have cures for everything but there is no money in making you well now is there?? Wake up everyone....

I don't know why there is so much skepticism around autopilot system...it has been in place for years in the aviation industry.

Finally the future has come.
Still cannot believe that the autopilot will have better performance than human, but the technology really develop very fast.
Especially after seeing AI alpha go defeated world's best go players, the world of AI really has come.
More and more job will be replaced by them in the future I think
