When it comes to how the FSD system works, should I listen to a billionaire CEO or multiple leading experts in the field?
Unfortunately, the influence of any billionaire CEO (especially one with a rare cult of personality) is far more greater than someone who is simply an 'expert' or 'researcher' in their field. I would rather verify the claims of the CEO to check if what they are claiming doesn't conflict with what the experts and researchers are showing.
Otherwise, the customers will trust anything they say and if not done with proper research, well it goes straight back to [1].
