Ah, but are we talking about how far in advance someone plans for their own benefit, or is it how far in advance they think of the needs of customers and stakeholders? Those two values are frequently different.

I think we're on something like year 7 of Musk promising perfect self-driving cars in one more year.

We are also in year 9 of self-landing rocket boosters launching 100 times a year reused 10+ times, on the other hand.

Or that's the work of SpaceX team and not Musk? So when it fails it's Musk and Musk only, but when it succeeds it's not Musk at all?
