Look, you are missing the big picture here.
Imagine a remote controlled truck and then, later, a fully autonomous truck.
This is what Tesla is aiming for here, they just have to begin somewhere.
This Semi is not a truck, is a data collection tool.
For some customers in some settings this already make sense as it is, but the goal is hit the road and start collecting data as soon as possible.
If that in mind, now imagine a fleet of 20 trucks being remotely monitored by a single driver. Does that make sense for you in terms of logistics and economics?
