Autonomous cars will definitely be a reality. A Tesla car next year will probably be 90 percent capable of autopilot. Like, so 90 percent of your miles can be on auto. For sure highway travel.
It will happen with a combination of various sensors. You combine cameras with image recognition with radar and long-range ultrasonics, that’ll do it. Other car companies will follow.
But [is Telsa] going to be the leader?
Elon Musk – Of course. I mean, Tesla’s a Silicon Valley company. If we’re not the leader, shame on us
