Tesla doesn't make a mass-market car.

>Imagine the engineers working at Google's autonomous cars today. I bet many of them are preparing their resumes for Tesla.

Uh, probably not.

Uh, yes they do, they make cars that are available to the mass market; anyone can buy a Tesla if they want to. That's what mass market means.

Uh..that's not what "mass market" means. Honda Civics are mass market. $100,000+ electric vehicles are not "mass market".

Here's Wikipedia:

"The mass market is the largest group of end consumers for a specified product. It is the opposite of the term niche market."
