    No it’s not viable, Elon is a grifter. This isn’t Atlas, whose autonomy and stability has been in development for three decades.

    Musk knows it’s easier to raise funds by showing off advanced puppets, because most of the work is the autonomy and stability.

    Elon’s most famous line is “we’ll have it next year” - that’s where his money comes from, he’s been saying that about Tesla fully self driving for six years or more, and still hasn’t got there. He’s even said it about having people on Mars.

    The man is a grifter, no idea with him is viable, as it would end his main source of income, it would end the grift.

    Flase promises and under delivery is his business model. It’s how he raises money.

      Basically 12 years according to wiki:

      Since 2013, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly predicted that the company would achieve fully autonomous driving (SAE Level 5) within one to three years

        And some, myself included, didn’t think Tesla will ever achieve it. Not without LIDAR.
