The death of self-driving cars is greatly exaggerated

Would be nice if someone was prototyping things like that. Id imagine you could sell actual self driving cars for $200k or maybe a bit more. (Cost of a decent luxury car + 1-2 years of a dedicated full time chauffeur)

It’s called Mercedes Benz. S class.

They go the boring path. Work together with regulators. Prove to them that whatever they are doing is actually save to use. Don’t oversell to their customers.

They go the way of building and retaining trust - with customers and regulation bodies.

And also build a product which is far more expensive than what Tesla does, when you compare features of their E-variants. It's all tradeoffs.

Doing something cheaper than competitors is a good thing when you’re achieving the same goal. Doing something cheaper than competitors when there’s a trade-off to the buyer fills out options in the market. Doing something cheaper than competitors when there’s an externality (e.g. a self-driving car that fails to recognize pedestrians) is morally condemnable.
