> self-driving is a pure software problem. You should be able to get 99% of the way there in simulation with a team of 4 really smart coders and an endless supply of Redbull and a year, tops.
Hyperloop was a great example of a project that made no sence from first principles, yet he pushed it anyway. It makes no sence because it's capacity, passengers it can move per hour, is like 2% of a high-speed train line. Additionally he came up with some pure fantasy cost estimates where the whole things cost less to build than a cycle path would, budgeted $0 for land aquisition, compacting or earth-works.
Re software problem:
Human genome is now digital too now, so figuring out immortality is a pure software problem.
Making money on the stock market is a pure software problem.
Simulating a concious mind is a software problem.
> I get the uncomfortable feeling he's deceiving himself
Maybe tha's what happens when you fire agressively anyone who disagrees and end up surrounded by yes-men
