You'd be wise to first discuss this with a practitioner in the field, who will tell you unequivocally that Tesla's (and everybody else's, including even Waymo's) claims that L5 autonomy is coming "real soon now" are utter and complete horseshit.

Although, scratch that, it's your money, so yes, you should totally short it. I'll be on the other end of your bargain.

I drive a Tesla on a daily basis, so I have some idea of how close it is.

I never said I thought it would happen in the next two years (it's possible, in some limited region, but not probable) -- however I believe Elon when he says Lidar is too expensive for this application and the companies using it are betting on the wrong horse / protocol.

Also, as I said in another comment, he owns the supply chain and his network / fleet data set will be much larger for the machine learning that is needed.

Come on, this has to be self-parody at this point.
