That right there means that Elmo is lying. He always has, I've been saying this for years now.
Look back a decade, and look at all for his claims, it's ALL a lie. Yet people keep lapping it up and claim he's a hero for the world.
The guy, like Cheeto, is a compulsive liar. If he opens his mouth, assume he's lying
But he's a liar with money! Now let's follow him around like starving dogs hoping for table scraps. Maybe he will pet one of us and drop something!
Yup, that means that the part of the lie that benefits him WILL come true, and the part that never come true will have no impact on him or on his reputation.
Full self driving is only like three years away bro!
Please note, this comment is backwards and future proof, if you ask Tesla at any point in time this is always Musk's answer
"We got rid of the lidar sensors on our cars because they weren't needed. Instead we zip tied some gopros to the front. Trust me. They're just as good. You definitely won't die."
Waymo has been functional for quite a while.
We probably could have full self-driving cars if we give on the safety a little bit.
I actually expect him to run this down our throats until we have FAA levels of catastrophe on the roads.
Waymo has been functional and that's the hilarious part. Musk just fucking sucks - he acquired a company with an immense head start and managed to somehow fall a decade behind the competition.
