My guess is Dave is saying we've already seen that and we know Tesla is going to do that(I'm sure it's baked into the stock price, which is why this news didn't do much of anything for it), so this news is not really surprising, doesn't move the needle.

This is exactly right and agree 150%.
Will there be a level of AI accident, of course but according to what Google has been doing for over a million miles the only accidents its autonomous vehicles have been is like 2.
I am fully on board with autonomous transportation as it will reduce casualties, accidents, traffic metrics and other huge factors in how the world is evolving with transportation.
To say this is a "dud" whether stock Dave or non-tech Dave is just wrong on so many levels. I think at some point we are so spoiled with technology, nothing amazes us anymore.
Watching this video is downright astonishing and living in the future. Just go back even 5 years and I would never even imagine driving an electric only car, capable of 200 miles+ of range, that drives itself on auto pilot and then they release this???
You have to remember, hackers don't care to play around with these computers...yet.
Once we have thousands upon thousands driving this way, I am fearful for the things that can be hacked and caused.
Watching that video, no doubt it is cool as can be.
It amazes me the technology that is in there to perform all of that.
To read the road signs, the parking signs, monitor traffic, people walking, etc.
It is amazing when you think about how it all works together seemlessly.
I would say thats a pretty solid estimate but with the regulations against autonomous vehicles and laws to be changed I do not feel confident it will be a quick implementation.

Jesus. I threw that number out there thinking there's no way you'd replace it that quick

No I was referring to my "next one" meaning the Model 3 we have on reserve as that will be in 2018 I assume and some of this ironed out a bit more.
I honestly plan to keep this S for the long haul depending on how the battery degradation goes and the next "must have" in this line. I will never buy another gas vehicle again though. I can say that pretty confidently.
